Debora L. Carr is best known to her friends as "The Dragon Lady," due to her fondness for drawing, 
creating, and collecting the fabuloud beasties.  She has been a professional graphic artist for over 15 years 
and does freelance fantasy illustration as a hobby.

She is also a Fantasy Crafter and has copyrighted several of her original designs, including her popular 
bead-work sculptural mini-dragons, faeries, and angels which she sells at craft fairs and science fiction 
conventions.  Her crafting extends into the realm of the theatrical, as she enjoys designing and creating 
science fiction and fantasy costumes, masks, props, and elaborate make-up designs.  She wears her own 
creations to conventions and Renaissance Festivals, competing in Costume Calls and usually winning a 
major award, ribbon, or trophy.  She especially acting "in character" while in garb and she has developed 
several well-known "personas" such as Tansy the Faun, The Red Dragon, Sharada the belly-dancer, and 
the Interstellar "Vixen."

In addition to her artistic hobbies, Debora also enjoys reading, working on her Macintosh, listening to 
New Age music, and pursuing a variety of studies such as mythologies/folktales, vampire/lycanthropic 
(werewolf) lore, word etymology, origins of customs and superstitutions, and ancient Egyptian culture and 
other early civilizations.

Debora graduated from Rutgers University with her B.A. in Art Education in 1980.  She chose not to 
enter the teaching profession and instead became a paste-up production artist/darkroom technician.  She 
currently works as a computer graphics artist and designer for a packaging and marketing consultancy 
firm.

She lives in the small town of Spotswood, New Jersey, sharing her life and apartment with her two cats, 
Tasha and T'Prr (a Vulcan feline!).  She welcomes correspondence from fellow artists and fans of her 
work.
