Ada
Deb Alexander has lived in Ada her whole life. She has worked at the Dekko Community Center since 1996 as a lifeguard and water aerobics, swim, and yoga instructor. Her previous jobs include home daycare provider, Simulcast Horseracing, freelance technical line illustrator for Melroe Bobcat, screen printing, and a school para professional. Deb is an active volunteer with her church and a member of the Ada Garden Club and Ladies Auxiliary. She has chickens, loves to garden, bike, walk, dance, watch the Minnesota Twins, spend time with her grandchildren, and quilt. Deb would love to write a children’s book and possibly illustrate it, too. Deb is a visual artist. She loves working with her hands creating a mixed media painting, working with paper Mache or creating something from wool or “junk.”
Deb believes that the arts tell many different stories. “Whether it is visual, written, musical or a play, everyone has a story to tell, and everyone has their own way of telling it. Art brings up good and bad memories, and emotions that people can relate to. Art is history in many different forms.”
