Deborah Gross-Zuchman, a Philadelphia painter, received her Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education from Temple University and a Master’s Degree in Painting from the Goddard Graduate Program of Norwich University. She was an Art Demonstration Teacher and taught in the Philadelphia Public Schools for thirty-five years. At present, she is a Project Manager for the Resorative Justice Program at the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.

  Gross-Zuchman travels each summer with her husband, Philip Zuchman, also a painter, to various places in the United States and abroad to paint, en plein air, the landscape and to learn about other cultures.

  In the studio, Gross-Zuchman concentrates on the technique of collage, using cut up papers that she has painted with an array of beautiful colors creating interesting and surprising effects with the brush and the palette knife. The subject matter ranges from abstract to figurative to representational.
