ABOUT DERI
 

Lately I have been working on reflections, refracting light in water and translucent light in landscapes. Trying to capture light in its brilliance or melancholy, as the case may be. Becoming a bit more aware of the mood in a landscape. My florals  have come together a bit more as far as  form, I would like to build on that. A lot can be learned from a simple flower. And have some ideas for portraiture I think I will explore.

The Walldogs -

I am an active member of the Walldogs. The Walldogs are a group of Artists who go from Community to Community painting murals for them. A Town or City applies to us to come to their area and create murals to enhance their economic development. Perhaps they have lost industry or there has been a natural disaster in their community. If the community is chosen between 100 and 350 of us go there and paint between 12 and 24 murals in 4 days. Our organization designs and paints the murals and in exchange they feed and house the artists. I have been across the States, Canada and to Australia with the Walldogs over the last 15 years.
