Deborah Pressman
Deborah Marum Pressman earned a BFA in Photography from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. As a photographer for the architectural firm Venturi, Rauch and Scott- Brown, she worked on the Bicentennial Exhibition “Signs and Symbols in the American Landscape” (Renwick Gallery 1976). She changed careers shortly thereafter – attending medical school and spending over 30 years as an internist. Throughout her years of medical practice, she continued making art in multiple media, including photography, printmaking, and metalsmithing. She is currently an active member of NewEnglandWax and NorthCountry Studio Workshops. In 2021 she curated the exhibition “Vision 2021: Found, Formed, Fused” at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. She lives in Natick with her husband and their standard poodle.
