Buttercup’s Audition is the work of oil painter Debra Bauer Wilcox, best known in Corrales for her portraits of Village characters, human and equine. Born and raised in New Mexico, she began drawing at a young age and sold her first painting at 13. Through four decades of raising children and running various family businesses, Wilcox continued to paint and sell her work, locally and internationally. In recent years she has devoted herself to painting, which she also teaches out of her Luna Rosa Studio on Corrales Road. Her realist landscapes, florals, and commissioned portraits are shown at Mountain Trails Gallery in Santa Fe, Gathering Artists Gallery in Corrales, and The Range in Bernalillo.
