As the daughter of parents from very different cultures, Debra Edgerton has sought to understand and embrace the traditions of her parents, while seeking commonality and personal meaning. In her artistic exploration to do so, she has delved into the rich cultural legacy of her African-American, and Japanese heritage. The result of her inquiry is a rich synthesis of stories, and visually exciting works.
