deb hoeffner “Not only does Deb Hoeffner have an incredible artistic range, there is a superb, often profound depth to everything she does. Whether it is a loving and moving portrait of

a homeless hungry Christ, or a convincing portrait of Uncle Sam for the cover of US News & World Report, her penchant for portraits is pronounced.”
