A family of four celebrating a birthday at a party. A young girl and a young boy are sitting at a table with a colorful birthday cake, each holding a party blowout. Two adults, a woman and a man, are standing behind them, smiling. The girl has long blonde hair with a bow, and the boy has short light brown hair. The background shows a chalkboard with writing and birthday decorations.

About Deanna

I paint with bold color, curious shapes, and a sense of play. My abstract work is intuitive and expressive, built through layered forms, unexpected pairings, and energetic compositions that invite viewers to feel color as much as they see it. I’m fascinated by how vibrant hues can spark emotion, movement, and moments of delight — sometimes all at once.

I live in Loudoun County, Virginia with my husband and two young children, where life is colorful, busy, and full of joyful chaos. That everyday energy finds its way into my paintings, which celebrate color as a powerful, playful language — one that communicates without words and leaves room for imagination, connection, and a little bit of wonder.
