be vulnerable, feel the big things.


about me

More than anything, I am passionate about creating; making as a practice.

I approach the world through gentle eyes. I am an optimist at heart, I recognise where I can grow and act on it. I feel deeply, express myself freely, dance sillily, mix patterns, embrace change, surround myself with colour, drink lots of iced tea, and say yes often.

I enjoy painting in oils, illustrating on my iPad, and editing videos!

“You (Deena) don’t just use paint to fill in shapes:
you seem to relish making marks and manipulating it to create mood and atmosphere.”
