Welcome to the Center for Touch Drawing. In 1974, on my last day in art school, I had an ecstatic creative awakening. In a moment of playful exploration, I moved my fingertips on a paper towel that had been intended to wipe off the paint below it. I turned over the towel and saw childlike scrawls that had appeared from the pressure of my touch. Lines coming directly from my fingertips! I began to laugh ecstatically with this discovery. In a timeless moment, I realized that I had received a precious gift. This was a direct mode of expression that fulfilled not only my own search for a more natural way to draw, but had the potential to fulfill the longing of countless others to open to their creative source. With this realization there came a sense of responsibility. Somehow, I would have to find a way to share this gift with the world. I named the process, simply, Touch Drawing. SEE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION

Learn about the simple yet profound process of Touch Drawing. Deborah shares stories and images from her own experiences, as well as inspiring examples of how Touch Drawing is working in the lives of others. We provide all the resources you need to start Touch Drawing on your own. Deborah offers slide talks and  workshops to introduce Touch Drawing. Each summer Deborah holds the Annual Touch Drawing Gathering, oriented to people who want to go deeper with Touch Drawing and share it with others. And check out our new Online Touch Drawing Community where you can set up your own page with blogs and pictures, and join with others in special interest groups.
