Teaching - Video - Painting
Debby Topliff creates large-scale paintings based on her in-depth study of whole books of the Bible. Her unique talent for teaching takes you on a visual journey through the painting that leads to a rich understanding of the story.
So far she has completed Mark, Acts, and Revelation—which is the basis of a 45-minute video called “Painting Revelation”.
Debby’s painting flows from her heart, the heart of a teacher. She welcomes opportunities to give talks and workshops to groups of all sizes and ages.
Institute for Theology, Imagination & the Arts
September 01 - August 31I will be spending a year studying for an MLitt degree at St Mary’s School of Divinity, St Andrews University in Scotland. My husband will move with me and continue his work via the internet resources.

For my dissertation I hope to include the work I’ve been doing on visual translation. The journey continues!
