I was named after my father whos name was Deane. Igrew up in West Seattle and always find myself returning here afterseveral travels. I have always been into art as a way to express mydreams and as a form of meditation. I went to the UW as aninterdisciplinary visual art student with the intention of becoming anart therapist. I will be starting my graduate program for art therapyat Antioch University this spring after returning from Israel thismonth. I would love to help people heal from any form of trauma withart as it has helped me to grow and see and understand myself. I hopeyou enjoy my art.
