“My adventure into polymer clay started as a misguided substitute for my love of real clay which I did not have access to at this particular time in my art life,” explains Debo Groover. “Since I did not know how to use this new material, I tried to treat it like real clay. I made slabs and sheets of a gazillion color combinations and ended up creating a technique unique in the polymer clay world.

“From a distance or even through a digital lens, it is difficult to see the different materials I use. This was my intent. I want the viewer to closely engage a painting so that the experience is surprising and intimate.”

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Swimming in the ocean. Specifically, the Florida gulf coast somewhere near 30A. If I can't get to the ocean, swimming laps in an outdoor Olympic pool with the sun making bright prisms under the water's surface.

What is your greatest extravagance?

Really expensive eyeglass frames

What is your motto?

It’s a southern saying but one I use a lot. "pretty is, pretty does." I grew up hearing this in my family as a young girl and the meaning has changed as I age and our world has changed so much around us. When I was younger, it had a more shallow or literal meaning. Now, I assign it a more spiritual meaning. To me it means we should watch the actions of a person and not their words before making a judgement of their character.
