Deb Haney’s artwork at the Malden Public Library

The Malden Public Library will be displaying the artwork of Deb Haney throughout the month of June. The library will be hosting a reception for the artist on Monday, June 2, from 7-8 p.m., and everyone is welcome to attend.

A world traveler and collector of the old, odd or unusual, Deb has embraced the world of handcrafting and design for decades. Her ethnic inspired adornments for home, person and garden have been sold in shops, shows and galleries in Southern California and New England. Deb was honored to have been juried into several national mixed-media exhibitions at the Bristol (R.I.) Art Museum, a historic mixed-media art exhibit at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT honoring the thousands who lost their lives to COVID, and numerous local art events in Melrose and Malden and the Winthrop and Revere Art Festivals.

Deb lives on Revere Beach (the oldest public beach in USA!), where she looks out on the ocean for daily inspiration. This “Oldest Public Beach in USA” series comes from her musings about the ways people enjoyed Revere Beach in early times. Vintage images, acrylic paints and several mediums were used in these acrylic mixed-media collages.
