Welcome! I'm so happy that you stopped by.

Join me on a creative journey of photography + paintings!
​I'm really just a small town girl, working hard to capture big city dreams. I grew up on a farm in the small town of Pipestone, where you didn't have to lock your doors at night, you knew everybody's name, and you could walk, run or drive tractor everywhere. I was pretty active in three sports; cross country, gymnastics and track, school activities, working, church activities, 4H, and honored to be homecoming queen 25 years after my mom. ​ My favorite class was Architecture Drawing, and my favorite animal was my horse, Babe.
​
My passion for art was inspired by two beautiful women, my MOM and GRANDMA! My mom was a lovely floral designer, gifted painter, and owned an antique store where she loved to refinish antiques to give them new beauty and life. I will treasure my time spent learning and helping my mom with all her artisan crafts. My grandma was also a floral designer and had a nice camera, and she would take pictures of us growing up. I always remember sitting down with her and going through the pictures, reminiscing about our special memories together. My love for painting and photography started in my younger years and I'm excited to share my passions with purpose with you, today.
After high school, I headed to Mankato State University for college. My goal was to try and finish college in 3.5 years, get to the cities where a cute guy was, and start working. I got it done, got married to that cute guy, and along came three amazing and very active kiddos. Active, to say the least... School, church, family, friends and sports have always been a big part of our family, but I had no idea how busy and what incredible experiences and especially, hockey would bring to our family at many levels.
​
I've always enjoyed photography through the years capturing different personalities, the perfect moments, senior pics, family, and sporting events. But, when my third child left for college, it was the perfect time to really zoom in and focus in on photography and painting.
When I'm not behind a camera or by a canvas, you can find me working out, doing yoga, spending time with family and friends, in a hockey rink, traveling, outside on a hike or at our cabin.
​
It would be an honor to hear from you and a pleasure to capture the perfect moment, look, landscape or event for you with my lens or paint brush. I'd love to chat, answer any questions and get to know you better. Please leave me a message at the bottom of the website or email me at debschroederartist@gmail.com
Have an amazing day
