Deanna Wiesenhaus (b. 1999) is a self-taught artist based in Portland, Oregon. Deanna’s work draws inspiration from everyday life; the architecture of domestic life, places lived and visited, spiritual spaces, her favorite people and characters, and the local flora and fauna that shape her environment.  Working primarily with ink, watercolor, and pastel, Deanna builds her compositions layer by layer, often beginning with a rich, black framework before introducing bursts of color.
