Most recently Deborah has worked closely with landscape designers and builders. They provide her with the basic idea, and she creates watercolors or sketches for the designer to show the client. These drawings are helpful for the client visualize the project, convince skeptical neighbors about a proposed development, or give the landscape crew a picture of the end result of their labors.
