About Me.

I am an expressionist artist focused on the celebration, complexity, and strength of the human condition. The core of my artwork is conceptual, the rest of the journey is purely intuitive; allowing the medium and meditation of the process to guide the direction.

Deena King Expressionist Artist in Sarasota Florida
