Debbie Lujan is a landscape photographer who specializes in images of her ancestral home, Taos Pueblo, New Mexico. Marked by a strong sense of composition and depth, the intersection of light and shadow evoke both movement and internal rhythm. Her authentic take of the distinguished architecture of the historic Taos Pueblo is distinctive and she cites her influences as Ansel Adams and Georgia O'keeffe.

Lujan has shown her work at various prestigious Native American juried shows such as the Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market in Phoenix, the Native American Art Market at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., Native Treasures in Santa Fe, the Autry Museum American Indian Arts Marketplace in Los Angeles, and the inaugural New Mexico Artisan Market in Albuquerque.

She is a classically trained violinist who has been playing for 40 years. When she is not playing in the Roswell Symphony Orchestra or the San Juan Symphony in Durango, Colorado, she is working at her gallery, Summer Rain Arts in her ancestral home in Taos Pueblo. She is also the co-coordinator of the Taos Pueblo Pow Wow.
