The Vibrant World of Debbie French

Step into a world where fairy tales meet the untamed beauty of nature in Wild Things, the latest exhibition at the Princeton Art Guild. Featuring the vivid, imaginative works of Princeton-based artist Debbie French, this show invites visitors to explore a lush visual landscape bursting with color, texture, and wonder.
French’s work is deeply inspired by the magical stories of her childhood — fairy tales whispered by her mother, the shimmering possibility of hearing bluebells ring under a maple tree, and the rich garden spaces where she first fell in love with nature’s intricate details. These early influences bloom across her canvases today, where extreme colors, bold patterns, and delicate textures come together in dazzling combinations.
A Celebration of Nature’s Magic
At the heart of Wild Things is a fascination with the wildness we often overlook — the small, hidden beauties in the garden, the imagined life of plants, and the stories they seem to carry. French’s paintings remind us that the natural world is not just something we observe, but something we feel, remember, and weave into our own personal myths.
Whether you’re drawn to vibrant palettes, whimsical themes, or the quiet magic of childhood wonder, this show promises to surprise and delight.
