My name is Debbie Serdy and I am the artist behind the independent fashion and accessories label, My Aunt Debbie.

Waaaaaaaay back in the 1980's, while I was using my college degree in Environmental Conservation to the fullest as a bartender; I started making a line of jewelry inspired by my love of pop culture and everything kitschy. When I wore my jewelry to work, (always breaking the "no dangly jewelry" dress code), I would notice that after my customers had a few drinks, they would want to buy what I was wearing. Before I knew it, I had a thriving little jewelry business while mixing up martinis.

30 years later I'm still basically doing the same thing.

I could list all of the artistic achievements, and experiences I've had, and the amazing people I have had the privilege of working with, and I am delighted to say that there have been many. But the reason I still do this boils down to a few simple things........ I like to make things that make people laugh, I like to make and do things that encourage and inspire people, and I'm not really that good at sticking to anything else....

I call my business My Aunt Debbie, to celebrate my nephews. Without them life would be so boring, Teaching them to challenge the rules, push the envelope, and think outside of the box are some of my proudest moments.

When I'm not cutting out pictures of Pee Wee Herman and Andy Warhol, you can find me haunting flea markets and thrift shops for
vintage flotsam and jetsam, unusual doodads and weird textiles. I conjure these goodies up into expressive clothing and outrageous accessories. I fantasize about rock stars wearing them on stage, and shy folks wearing them as they sing into their hairbrushes fantasizing about being rock stars.
