Hello, I'm Deanna.

I love teaching because I learn right alongside you.

Welcome to my SkillShare platform, I am so glad you are here.

I create continuous line drawings (blind contour) of my photographs. I see the shapes and lines as inspiration using my pen to connect them without lifting them from the page. I create a drawing by hand then scan it to create a digital file. I use those digital files to create transfers on fabrics I sew on thrifted clothing.

I have had solo exhibitions in the USVI, Toronto, Vancouver, and Halifax. During Project Instant V6.0 for Capture 2019 at Science World, my trio of Polaroids won the best creative series. I won a print grant from London Drugs for my Capture 2018 'Transitions' exhibition exhibited at Milano Espresso Lounge.

I have lived and worked in the photographic industry in Vancouver for 15 years, grew up in Halifax NS, and never leave home without a camera. I have worked as an instructor in Photography with Arts Umbrella, Langara Continuing Education, Henry's Camera in Toronto, and am now excited to be an instructor with Skillshare.

Most recently I finished a photojournalism project with 7 women who work in STEM, Science Technology Engineering and Math called In Plain Sight, it is currently on exhibit at Science World. The opening was March 4, 2020. The exhibit is currently being converted to a virtual online experience.

I used to have red hair, I was covering my grey and decided one day to let go of the red and embrace the real me. Some of my classes still have my red hair, rest assured it is me and I am really happy with the change.
