DB WATERMAN
“My art depicts the current state of the world, and how our children grow up in an often unfair as well as
deteriorating environment. Yet, it is precisely the children's ability to transcend difficult situations
and find joy and light in the darkest surroundings that is the much-needed hope for the future.”
-DB Waterman

Embracing a diverse range of resources, DB Waterman has found this variety to be indispensable to her creative process. Through her use of different materials, she has crafted a visual language that speaks to her individuality as an artist. Moving beyond the confines of conventional artistic education, DB Waterman has forged her own path, allowing her to experiment and evolve in ways that are uniquely her own.
“Kids inspire me. Their ability to transcend any given rotten situation is astounding. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that our generations have really messed up, not even blaming us for it.”
