Hello, I am Debbie Lim, a self-taught artist, born in Detroit, Michigan USA. On the personal side, I had a very hard childhood, having only my art (and my siblings). My art was my "way out" to escape reality. My twin sister and I were "aged out of the foster-care" system, turning shy of 16-years old. Art was the only thing in my life that gave me stability.

In the 1980’s, I started designing clothes under the label “LaShong”. My clothes were used on a local TV show and one movie. My clothes were also sold at a few local malls and I had well over 200 fashion shows during this time. In addition, I had been commissioned by a local college to paint large canvas sports figures and I painted wildlife for collectors out of state.

While wildlife is my passion to paint, I recently discovered colored pencils art and now is fascinated with working with the media creating any type of subjects! Now I am able to create art anywhere with colored pencils, (and not wait for the paint to dry or clean up after each "sitting"). Currently I am using my Chinese family background of Feng Shui work and working on a few series of original artwork that correlates to the classic Feng Shui methods. (Feng Shui is the use of energy “chi” to harmonize individuals with their surrounding home and office environment.)

As you can see here, not only do I sell my art prints, I am now offering my art in different forms for purchase! You can now purchase them on clothing, bags, and other products! This is SO exciting for me! If you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know and I will add it to my collection here!

In addition to my art, for over three decades, I am also a professional photographer and teach fitness.

I am so excited to open my shop here at Etsy! I love that Etsy allows me to share my art with the world.... :-) This is going to be so fun!

Thank you for dropping by!

In Peace and Love, Debbie Lim
