DeAnna has a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), major in studio painting from Converse College 2000 and has worked in various art related jobs including freelance art projects, privately commissioned work and teaching high school art. She was born in Virginia, raised in Louisiana and she is now lives in Spartanburg of South Carolina.
As she says herself in her bio "She loves creating abstract or distorted fantasy figures like mermaids, fairies, and modern folk art type ladies. Her subjects are almost always female, sometimes serious, sometimes just fun, cute, or aesthetic art for art’s sake. Her art and the colors she chooses often reflect her mood at the time of creation, sometimes dark and a little gothic but, usually a little lighter and brighter".
Her art is sold globally through E-Bay (her E-Bay seller ID is "deanajewel") and is a juried member of EBSQ, which is a is a group of self representing artists selling their own work on E-Bay.
I have to say that I'm more than happy to own a few of her original works (and equally unhappy to have lost to other bidders works of hers that I still wish they were mine!). DeAnna adds copyright text when posting her images, so I will use them as they are posted by her, with the copyright text.

This is the very first drawing I purchased from DeAnna in 2005 and it remains a favourite until today. Isn't it a superb drawing? Look at the details on the wings and the fur of the fairy's dress. The pose of the fairy itself is perfect and I love the movement of her legs.
The next painting is also one I purchased in 2005 and I got hooked the minute I saw it. If I remember correctly it was purchased by somebody else who for some reason did not get it in the end. So I had a second chance, for which, (needless to say) I was and still am glad about!

A real beauty by all means. I love her pensive look and the soft yellows and pinks of her wings. To me this is a gorgeous painting. One that I'll always be happy to look at!
There are more original paintings of DeAnna that I will post so look out for them. And as far as I am concerned I sure look forward to purchasing more of her amazing art.
