Bio:
Deana’s art is a marriage of photography and abstract expressionist painting. The art is perhaps better defined as “Extractionism” as the final painting is influenced by the content and look of the photograph as well as how the photo is modified and then extracted or expressed onto the canvas via painting.
The process begins with selection of an image from the artist’s photographs. It is printed on archival paper, then gessoed onto a canvas or other base material and then painted upon. The photography focuses on either the urban built environment or increasingly the natural environment. This focus is derived from Deana’s passion for cities and place; her background in architecture, urban design, and real estate development; and the serenity, beauty, and wonder found in the natural environment.
