Deborah Kennedy was born in Connecticut in 1953, she received her BA in the Practice of Art in 1983 from the University of California and her MFA in Plastic Arts in 1987 from the San Jose State University. She lives in San Jose, California with her husband Dale Larson, has lived with him in Germany.

Kennedy's project was featured in a 1989 article for the San Jose Mercury News about its impact on the local community and how it allowed communication between East and West Berliners.

Kennedy was assisted by the Checkpoint Charlie Museum along with political activist Ranier Hildebrant in mounting her work on the wall under the scrutiny of East German patrol guards. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, Kennedy's art was taken down and collected at least in part as souvenirs by locals. During the mid-1990s, Kennedy received a California Arts Council grant for a project working with minors to produce graffiti murals. In 1997 she was awarded an Artist's Fellowship for Installation Arts from the Arts Council Silicon Valley. In that same year she completed work on the public sculpture entitled EcoTech featured at the Champion Light Rail Station in San Jose.

Kennedy has taught art and art history at Santa Clara University and teaches beginner and intermediate level drawing courses at San Jose City College.

Kennedy was commissioned by the San Jose Public Art Program to work alongside sculptor Diana Pumpelly Bates in 2004 on completion of a community project for the Coyote Creek Trail recreational area of San Jose and Santa Clara County, California. Their public artworks, including Kennedy's'Ripple Effect', are used to promote public awareness of a concrete landing pad and ramp leading to a levee where strollers and bicyclists have greater accessibility to the site. In 2016 Kennedy published Nature Speaks: Poetry for the Earth, it won the 2017 Eric Hoffer and Silver Nautilus poetry book awards for its use of combined visual art and poetry highlighting natural and ecological themes.
