ARTIST STATEMENT

Deanna McLaughlin’s  artwork is not bound to one type of material or technique. She derives pleasure through the design challenge. Her sculptural work has been developed from found objects, metal, epoxy resin, fabric, wood, and other objects which inspire new design ideas. Mostly she loves to consider how to connect irony in a quirky, fun, and playful way. Problem-solving how to manipulate a single object in multiple ways underscores my love of design.

Deanna has won numerous awards with her artwork and has been granted residency and exhibition opportunities both Nationally and Internationally. Her work is in permanent collections in Museums, University settings and private collections. She has exhibited in The Philadelphia International Airport, CraftNow, Craftforms International exhibit, Design Philadelphia, Spring Break in New York City among others.   An insatiable thirst to learn new skills while working with a variety of media sustains her never-ending inspiration to create.  Experiencing people from other places and cultures has greatly influenced her approach to looking at life with an ever-fresh perspective.  Academic achievements include M.A./M.A.T. Art Education, The University of The Arts.  B.S. Art Therapy, Cognate: Psychology, Bowling Green State University. She is also a seasoned yoga educator.
