About DeAnne
I am a full-time working artist. My work has been published internationally in calendars, magazines, Bible studies and on book, CD and DVD covers and is held in corporate and private collections. Past exhibitions include The Basilica of St Mary, Central Lutheran, Hopkins Center for the Arts and Artistry in Minneapolis. In addition, I have exhibited at Luther Seminary, Central Presbyterian in St Paul and at The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin.
My work is on the cover of the September 2017 issue of Minnesota Women's Press which contains a feature article about my work.
