Welcome to Arty by Deanna: A Journey of Rediscovery and Renewal

Arty by Deanna is the brainchild of Deanna, a woman and veteran whose life journey embodies strength, resilience, and a profound love for creativity.

In 2013, Deanna faced a pivotal moment. After years in a conventional desk job, she confronted workplace harassment compounded by the challenges of managing disabilities. Faced with these burdens, she courageously chose to step away from the corporate world.

This decision ignited a profound process of self-discovery. Amidst the ensuing isolation, Deanna found solace and inspiration in art. Online tutorials and her own brushes rekindled her passion, unveiling art's remarkable power to heal. Creativity became her sanctuary - a place for expression and renewed purpose.

With over 13 years of professional experience as a face painter and formal training as a graphic designer, Deanna's artistic journey has been rich and diverse. These experiences sharpened her skills and deepened her understanding of art's transformative potential.

Yet, Deanna also yearned for something more - a sense of community, shared laughter, and the simple joy of companionship. This yearning birthed a vision: Arty by Deanna. It's more than a business; it's a journey of healing and transformation. It celebrates art's ability to mend souls, foster connections, and revive spirits.

Arty by Deanna invites you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, let's paint, create, and heal, forging connections that last a lifetime. Welcome to our vibrant canvas of possibilities.
