A former U.S. Army officer, she has worked in research institutions, universities, and biotech, where skills in art, editing, and web communication served in research activities.

Debra Jan Bibel has been painting for 50 years. Although bold colors and solids have often figured in her approach to art, since 1990 her geometric works have been directly influenced by her experience in science and in her Zen Buddhist practices. Klee and Mondrian (a Theosophist) are her philosophical and compositional models, but finds some concordance with Ralston Crawford and Helen Lundeberg's simplified architectural solids.
