Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Debbie Clapper helps her clients and customers activate and transform their spaces and brands with abstract geometric art.Debbie has been making art every day since she was nine, and there’s no stopping her now. No rulers, straight edges, or compasses are used in her originals, giving every line a rhythmic, kinetic, and powerful pulse.Debbie’s work stands out. It’s bold. It’s unique. Its playfulness makes you want to dance (or at least crack a smile). She credits being a prolific artist (creating daily) and her style’s entrancing depth and dimensionality to her two main inspirations: Op Art and graffiti.Debbie’s art does more than hang on a wall—it transforms into an immersive experience with the collaboration of experiential software developer, Cacheflowe.

She’s been interviewed on several creative podcasts and has won awards for her art, designs, and illustrations.

She believes the value art brings to any space goes well beyond visual eye candy, whether through creative placemaking, public art, or interior design. It forms human connections, develops culture, inspires creativity, can be an engine and motivator, and can improve vibrancy and safety in a community.
