Deborah Peeples is a Boston area painter who works out of Joy Street Studios in Somerville. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington University School of Fine Arts and also studied at the Lake Placid School of Art. She returned to a full-time art practice after raising her family and working for many years as a community, social and political activist. Peeples has been an active member of several artist groups, is Board President of the Cambridge Art Association, and has exhibited her work throughout the United States. Her work can be found in collections across the United States and abroad.

My paintings begin with the same underlying architecture and semiotic language. The aggressive re-articulation of the circle is about emphasizing my existence, my presence, and the desire to be seen. Shapes jostle for position to communicate and to determine their relationship to the others, their juxtapositions creating imbalance, insecurity and surprise. They are about wholeness, the metaphorical holes inside us, emptiness and femaleness.
