Silt & Sticks

Silt & Sticks The Art of Debbie Whitecar | graphic designer, digital artist Hello, I'm Debbie. I am a graphic designer. I live and work in Talkeetna, Alaska.

I have close to 30 years of graphic design experience: self-employed, in advertising agencies, as an in-house art director for a non-profit... and since 2016, I am freelancing for two fabulous businesses, My Travel Stickers and Eagle River Designs. For them, I create stickers, pins and patches for America's National Parks and other public lands. You should check out their websites. My art style is

stylized — or maybe one can call it realistic minimalism. I like to use geometric shapes, straight or curved lines to simplify elements in my artwork. Sometimes I add texture.

Here is one of my FAVORITE design styles I like to create with: I call it minimal realism. Simplified shapes, capturing only the essentials as graphic elements; circles, lines; some shading here and there and the use of vibrant colors… and we have a POP! of fun art. — These artwork pieces are used for my favorite client My Travel Stickers. We call this sticker template “Extreme Horizontal”. These quality vinyl stickers work well as a wrap around on water bottles, but of course can also be used on vehicles, bicycle frames, laptops, etc. Find these stickers in your favorite National Park and other public lands stores. — Okay… I’ll create some more art now! Best to all, Debbie Norden ——

This is the last week my art will be adoring the yellow walls of the Flying Squirrel Bakery & Cafe in Talkeetna. Well, I should say “what’s left of it”; there are now some empty spots because you bought my art. Thank you! 😍

If you like to purchase from me in-person, I will be at the Flying Squirrel on Sunday, January 29 at about 1:30 pm to take down the last framed art prints and canvas wrap prints. I will bring some extra prints as well (unframed).

Of course you may also make a purchase online at siltandsticks.Etsy.com

Thank you for your support — and perhaps I’ll see you on Sunday… 🥰

Ptarmigan, fine art print. Available to order in my Etsy shop, or get the one framed version available in my current art show at the Flying Squirrel Bakery & Cafe in Talkeetna. I mean… what’s better than looking at art and eating good food?! Several art pieces were sold, but I ordered more art prints to fill the empty spaces on the walls.

“American Dipper” fine art print. This bird, in his typical dip-dipping and bob-bobbing fashion, is trying to find salmon eggs among the colorful river pebbles. — This print is available in my Etsy Shop (link in bio). Designed in Talkeetna, Alaska. Printed in Anchorage, Alaska.

Happy Holidays! Thank you for sending so much love my way — for loving my art and buying it too. I appreciate it all. ❤️ I will make more art in the new year, but now it’s time to rest, breathe deep, and reflect…

"Lesson Learned"

It's too late to place an order for any of my art prints (at least for those who want the mail to arrive in time for Christmas), but a sweet Last-Minute Gift can be created in minutes with one of my Digital Downloads. All you need is a frame. You could choose a dark matting or frame for that pop of color, or keep it simple and timeless with a wooden or white frame.

Is there a wisdom that you would want to have stylized in pretty typography? Let me know what inspires you. :-)

Looking for a very-last-minute, ready-to-take-home gift? Well, if you happen to be in Talkeetna, you can swing by the Flying Squirrel Bakery & Cafe to see my art, purchase what’s still available (I just restocked the art show walls today), and enjoy some baked goods and fair trade coffee, or a wood fired pizza if you happen to stop by on Friday or Saturday. Don’t miss the “Old Toby” Poster Series in the entry area (for fans of The Hobbit 😊).

You can also visit my brand-new Etsy Shop to place an order, but it’s too late for art prints and products to arrive in time for Christmas. Etsy.com/shop/siltandsticks
