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: the Woodson Museum, Wasau, WI, the Bennington Art Museum, Vermont and the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. Current work is included in the Cowgirl UP invitational, Desert Caballeros Museum, Wickenburg, AZ.
