Deb's Story
I'm a freelance graphic designer and photographer. My design work is produced for clients, and my photography is sold to collectors through galleries (or through me!) You can see some of my photos on my website (just google "deb stavin" and you'll find it.) I love to drop down into the middle of daily life in places very different from my own home country, just to take a good, long look around. Right now my website features work I did in India and Ghana over the past several years. I've also traveled through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Vietnam, and Guatemala.
Considering all this foreign travel, it might surprise you to learn that I live in Lawrence, Kansas. I studied ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute, then earned a music history degree at the University of Kansas, and not long after that I moved to Boston where I eventually became a graphic designer. Go figure!

version of my daily life. I loved Boston but I worked about 70 hours a week, took the bus and the subway daily, never had enough money, etc. So I moved back to my college town where I was able to buy a wonderful 1938 house with a screened porch, a fireplace, a big yard and tall old trees. I live there with my old dog and my young cat and have good friends, some of whom I got to know when I was a student here in the early '80s, and others who are new to my life. Lawrence is full of artists and musicians and writers, so it's a perfect community for me. I also love the landscape of the midwest. When I lived in Boston I really missed seeing big sweeping thunderstorms.
I've stayed single and did not have children, which is probably a good thing, given my penchant for grabbing my camera and getting on a plane to traipse around somewhere really far away every now and then.
I'd love to hear from any of you, so please drop me a line.
