Deanne finds inspiration for her sculpture in the wildlife and cultures of the West, and in Celtic legend and magic. She frequently makes humorous or social comment through animal characters who become metaphors for human thought and behavior. Her work is included in private and museum collections including the Woodson Museum, Wasau, WI, the Bennington Art Museum, Vermont and the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. Current work is featured in several juried exhibitions through member associations: Women Artists of the West, American Women Artists, CowgirlUp Desert Caballeros Museum, etc. and at galleries who represent her work.
