"NO RULES, JUST ART"
About Deb Deaton
​ I received my art degree from the Art Institute of Colorado in 1978. Since then, I have been creating art in many forms; oil, watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, mixed media, and fiber art. I began quilting 30 years ago and although I loved to create beautiful quilts, my love of art moved me into Fiber Arts, leading me to launch DJ’s Fiber Arts (DJ is short for my first name, Debbie Jo). I am an award-winning fiber and multi-media artist, creating fiber art, painting my own fabric, embellishing using different fibers and media such as silk, wool, paints, beads and more. Her motto is – “NO RULES, JUST ART”
Creating fiber art is a deeply personal journey for me, allowing me to merge my love for tactile experiences with my passion for self-expression. Each stitch I make serves as a vessel for my emotions, thoughts, and experiences, woven together into a unique tapestry of my inner world. Through the rhythmic motion of my hands, I find solace and meditation, as I immerse myself in the creative process, unraveling the threads of my imagination to bring forth something entirely new and meaningful. Fiber art is not just my craft; it reflects my soul, a medium through which I communicate with the world, leaving traces of my essence in every intricate detail.
​
Today, I am a full-time fiber artist who enjoys sharing my knowledge through the unique and exciting classes I offer throughout the country, introducing students to the amazing world of art.

Deb Deaton
fiber and mixed media artist
I believe in channeling my creative urges in order to produce unique artwork using fiber, such as fabric, wool, yarns, beads, dying fabric and more. My inspiration for my work is the miracle of life. DJ's Fiber Arts is born out of a combination of my education, training and experience, which allows my perspective as an artist to remain traditional yet contemporary. Art is my outlet to express my creativity and uniqueness to the world.
