Deborah DeFranco is a Los Angeles–based fine art photographer whose work explores impermanence and resilience through the language of flowers. Using photography as her foundation, she digitally crafts each image into a contemplative work that invites viewers to pause, offering moments of calm, reflection, and beauty in both private and public spaces.
In 2015, Adobe acquired one of DeFranco's original works for Photoshop's 25th Anniversary celebration at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
DeFranco earned her BFA, magna cum laude, from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts, where she was valedictorian. She also studied with Pat Steir, Kaz Tanahashi, and Grace Graupe-Pillard. Her work has been featured by The New York Times, The Star-Ledger, PLAIN Magazine, and VSCO, and is held in private collections in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, and Santa Fe.
