Art by Deana Studio<br>

Thanks for visiting my shop. Let me introduce myself. I am married and have three awesome kids and two puppies who all rule the house. I love nature, being on the water, & spending my time with family and friends.

I started oil painting when I was 17. Then went to college and got a degree in interior design. But as I had kids and ‘life happened’, design and painting ended up taking the back burner. A few years ago I decided to jump back in and pick up my brushes again, I am so glad I did! It’s definitely where I find myself focused and calm. Being creative and doing art is really who I am. It was long overdue. Whether I am painting a more detailed piece or an abstract, my inspiration comes from the beauty of nature, reflections of memories, and from growing up in a small town on Lake Michigan. All of this has allowed me to start this little business that I am working on...and I am loving every second of it!
