Dee Dee
Dee Dee grew up in the mountains of Vail, Colorado surrounded by majestic landscapes and a mother who was in constant creation of various mediums, paint, clay and all things design. She graduated from LSU with a BA in Landscape Architecture. She was an integral part of the design team for The Mondrian Hotel, The Flamingo on Miami Beach and large scale residential projects on Long Island, NY and many other commercial and residential projects throughout the country. She and her husband have been designing and building furniture since they first met. She has a deep love for learning, growing and sharing knowledge.
The Work
The art is resin and mixed media on wood. It is a collaborative effort with her husband, he folds all the paper cranes and butterflies as well as handcrafts all of the wood panels. She has through trial and success cultivated techniques that give desired effects, feel and movement. Some are intentional and some are divine. Her process takes weeks to achieve the moment when it is clear to stop.
When Dee Dee isn’t creating artwork she can be found on a lacrosse sideline cheering on her kids, in the kitchen cooking up something delicious, or in the garden growing flowers and vegetables.
