For Dee, art is an intersection of realistic detail blended with organic, and often abstract, form. Whether she is painting animal and floral portraits, landscapes, or abstract works, she looks at each painting as a creative journey in which layers of color are combined with the play of light and shadow.
Dee creates in several mediums, including watercolor, soft pastel, alcohol ink, and colored pencil. She enjoys spending time in her studio as well as painting en plein air, capturing the natural light and atmosphere of a subject in its actual environment.
Dee is a native Oregonian who is formally educated in biology and art. After a career in commercial art, she is delighted to now explore the personal joys in creating art. She hopes that others find as much pleasure in viewing her art as she finds in creating it.
