Artist Bio

Deanna has exhib­ited reg­u­larly and exten­sively since 1984. Early high­lights include exhi­bi­tions and sales with the Ohio Water­color Soci­ety, The Ohio Crafts­man Group, and at gal­leries, muse­ums, and out­door fes­ti­vals. She has received grants and awards for her oil paint­ings, ceram­ics, and draw­ings. She was accepted as one of five Amer­i­cans for the First Artist Exchange with the Union Of Artists of St. Peters­burg, Rus­sia. One of these ceramic sculp­tural works was selected for the Museum of Artist of St. Peters­burg per­ma­nent collection.

Most recently her work has focused on design­ing med­i­ta­tion spaces, gar­den fur­ni­ture and prag­matic cre­ations from repur­posed sus­tain­able objects. “Regard­less of the mate­r­ial I use to make art with, the cre­ative process gives me the oppor­tu­nity to merge my inner self with my reflec­tions of the world in which we live.”
