Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages. Cauley attended Mesa Community College where she studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages. Cauley attended Mesa Community College where she studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages. Cauley attended Mesa Community College where she studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Situated between who we have been and who we are not yet, \u201cBecoming Under Tension\u201d explores transformation, vulnerability and the quiet acts of change. The works in the exhibition frame identity as an evolving construct that is shaped by memory and desire, and not a final state to be reached. Becoming is framed here as a multi-layered, frequently contradictory experience: a negotiation between past and future selves rather than a linear process. These works allow for change and represent the brittle and incomplete moments that make us who we are. Instead of drawing conclusions, the exhibition acknowledges becoming as an act of presence, preservation, and possibility while lingering in the in-between. It is a reminder that we are constantly, in some quiet way, in motion.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EImage courtesy the artists.\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"Mikey Estes","email":"mikey.estes@asu.edu","delta":"1","alias":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/becoming-under-tension-senior-bfa-exhibition?id=1","ticketing_rsvp_txt":"","ticketing_rsvp_txt2":"","ticketing_rsvp_url":"","ticketing_rsvp_url2":"","website":"","image_url":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-04\/1775165132.330437%20-%20Mikey%20Estes.jpg","image_alt":"","image_title":"","start_date":"Apr 28 2026 - 12:00pm","end_date":"Apr 28 2026 - 5:00pm","time_description":"Monday \u2013 Thursday | 12 \u2013 5 p.m.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFriday | 12 \u2013 3 p.m.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nClosed on weekends and university holidays","very_start_date":"2026-04-28T12:00:00Z","very_end_date":"2026-04-28T17:00:00Z","event_types":"Exhibit, Exhibition, Misc events","interests":"Arts and Creative Expression|Events|Exhibition","audiences":"For current ASU students|For staff|For faculty|For the community","event_units":"Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts|School of Art|School of Art - Gallery 100","event_topics":"Arts and entertainment|Family friendly|Free","download":"\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-04\/1775228657.205838%20-%20Mikey%20Estes.jpg","event_map_url":"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FGppU84Yarq1bhvVA","event_map_title":"","event_video":"","location_term":"Tempe campus","venue_address":"65 E University Drive","venue_city":"Tempe","venue_state":"AZ","venue_zip":"85281","alias-indexed":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/becoming-under-tension-senior-bfa-exhibition?id=1","sport_tag":"","game_type":"","subtitle":"","season":"","athletic_conference":"","tv_network":"","radio_station":"","wear_color":"","game_theme":"","history":"","history_text":"","related_stories":"","related_stories_text":"","game_notes":"","game_notes_text":"","recap_link":"","recap_link_text":"","live_stats":"","live_stats_text":"","game_time_tba":"No","sda_all_day":"No","opponent_logo":"","related_videos":"","related_videos_text":""}},{"node":{"nid":"72976","title":"Spring 2026 CISA Student Showcase","campus":"Polytechnic campus","locations":"Cooley Ballrooms","college_unit":"College of Integrative Sciences and Arts","department":"","field_cost_value":"Free","event_price_level":"Free","asu_events_price_desc":"Free","body_summary":"\u003Cp\u003EStudents from across disciplines who have taken CISA courses will share final projects and indepe\u003C\/p\u003E","full_body":"\u003Cp\u003EStudents from across disciplines who have taken CISA courses will share final projects and independent research in an informal, poster-session atmosphere.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAttendees will have the opportunity to engage with students, offer mentorship, network with emerging talent and explore applied learning across fields such as biological sciences, counseling psychology, horticulture, user experience and more.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe showcase celebrates the spirit of innovation at the Polytechnic campus and demonstrates how CISA students are putting their knowledge into practice through research, creativity and collaboration.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Situated between who we have been and who we are not yet, \u201cBecoming Under Tension\u201d explores transformation, vulnerability and the quiet acts of change. The works in the exhibition frame identity as an evolving construct that is shaped by memory and desire, and not a final state to be reached. Becoming is framed here as a multi-layered, frequently contradictory experience: a negotiation between past and future selves rather than a linear process.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages. Cauley attended Mesa Community College where she studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Situated between who we have been and who we are not yet, \u201cBecoming Under Tension\u201d explores transformation, vulnerability and the quiet acts of change. The works in the exhibition frame identity as an evolving construct that is shaped by memory and desire, and not a final state to be reached. Becoming is framed here as a multi-layered, frequently contradictory experience: a negotiation between past and future selves rather than a linear process. These works allow for change and represent the brittle and incomplete moments that make us who we are. Instead of drawing conclusions, the exhibition acknowledges becoming as an act of presence, preservation, and possibility while lingering in the in-between. It is a reminder that we are constantly, in some quiet way, in motion.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EImage courtesy the artists.\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"Mikey Estes","email":"mikey.estes@asu.edu","delta":"3","alias":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/becoming-under-tension-senior-bfa-exhibition?id=3","ticketing_rsvp_txt":"","ticketing_rsvp_txt2":"","ticketing_rsvp_url":"","ticketing_rsvp_url2":"","website":"","image_url":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-04\/1775165132.330437%20-%20Mikey%20Estes.jpg","image_alt":"","image_title":"","start_date":"Apr 30 2026 - 12:00pm","end_date":"Apr 30 2026 - 5:00pm","time_description":"Monday \u2013 Thursday | 12 \u2013 5 p.m.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFriday | 12 \u2013 3 p.m.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nClosed on weekends and university holidays","very_start_date":"2026-04-30T12:00:00Z","very_end_date":"2026-04-30T17:00:00Z","event_types":"Exhibit, Exhibition, Misc events","interests":"Arts and Creative Expression|Events|Exhibition","audiences":"For current ASU students|For staff|For faculty|For the community","event_units":"Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts|School of Art|School of Art - Gallery 100","event_topics":"Arts and entertainment|Family friendly|Free","download":"\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-04\/1775228657.205838%20-%20Mikey%20Estes.jpg","event_map_url":"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FGppU84Yarq1bhvVA","event_map_title":"","event_video":"","location_term":"Tempe campus","venue_address":"65 E University Drive","venue_city":"Tempe","venue_state":"AZ","venue_zip":"85281","alias-indexed":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/becoming-under-tension-senior-bfa-exhibition?id=3","sport_tag":"","game_type":"","subtitle":"","season":"","athletic_conference":"","tv_network":"","radio_station":"","wear_color":"","game_theme":"","history":"","history_text":"","related_stories":"","related_stories_text":"","game_notes":"","game_notes_text":"","recap_link":"","recap_link_text":"","live_stats":"","live_stats_text":"","game_time_tba":"No","sda_all_day":"No","opponent_logo":"","related_videos":"","related_videos_text":""}},{"node":{"nid":"77446","title":"SITE: Art at Eisendrath","campus":"Tempe campus","locations":"Eisendrath House","college_unit":"Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, School of Art","department":"School of Art","field_cost_value":"Free","event_price_level":"Free","asu_events_price_desc":"Free","body_summary":"\u003Cdiv class=\u0022uds-highlighted-heading\u0022\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022highlight-gold\u0022\u003ESITE: Art at Eisendrath\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","full_body":"\u003Cdiv class=\u0022uds-highlighted-heading\u0022\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022highlight-gold\u0022\u003ESITE: Art at Eisendrath\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEisendrath House | Papago Park, 1400 N.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages.

Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject.

With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.

As a result, this often leads to hyper independence and self sufficiency in children within our communities.

Her work is heavily influenced by Black American hood culture with a feminist undertone and an overall focus of Black empowerment. Visually, she combines the dynamism of Black American culture with powerful punches of vibrant color and deep, emotionally driven messages. Cauley attended Mesa Community College where she studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting. During this time she held a two year apprenticeship with nationally renowned American oil painter Chris Saper who taught her the ins and outs of the fine art industry.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlong with her unique and distinguishable paintings, Cauley is most known for her nine stories tall mural of Civil Rights activist, James Baldwin in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Cauley has won several awards for her works including first place at the Artlink 19th Annual Juried Exhibition in 2019. Along with her awards, Cauley has been featured on various television and print publications including PBS, NPR, JAVA Magazine (cover), Forbes and was named one of Phoenix Magazine\u2019s \u201cGreat 48: 48 Most Influential people in the state of Arizona\u201d in 2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECauley recently spent three years in Berlin, Germany to complete an artist residency as well as launch her international career.

Debra Goley has been exploring the use of fiber in two dimensions, manipulating designs with small cuts and broken threads, exposing subsequent layers to create more surprise dimensions. This technique involves color analysis, sketching a design, layering fabric and auditioning compositional poses. The artistic result is revealed much like a complex mystery, rendering the viewer a thought-provoking expression.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout artist Debra Goley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EArt is Debra\u2019s language, and it speaks of how she is innately wired. As an award-winning international and inspirational artist, beginning with a career as an architect, and now a full-time artist, art instructor and designer. The last decade has seen her working with fiber as an exciting extension of her portfolio, adding depth to her work after her mother left her with a plethora of fabric and a machine to draw with her needle. With a brush and a pencil in hand, Debra begins her designs by sketching to scale and allowing the form to follow concept. Her technique of piecing color value together and cutting through the multiple layers offers elements of mystery and intrigue. As a multimedia artist, Debra\u2019s work and teaching style clearly reflect her life\u2019s work, which is a continued exploration that has its roots in a life lived overseas and the experience of a multicultural community. Her subject matter ranges from natural landscapes, travel and the close-up snapshots of objects and time captured in a sketch journal. With each new project, her journey begins with research and analysis of a sketch subject, which takes her design from concept to an abstract expression of that subject. Debra is a resident of Goodyear, AZ, and enjoys sketching and morning hikes to view the sunrise. Back in the studio, she is found conjuring and cutting up new works yearning be freed from the design table and shared with viewers.
