Chilton Russell Artist
Deri's Art Career began in 1981. She had graduated from the Design Arts Program at Georgian College, Graphics major.. And after several years in Toronto she headed back to Hanover, Grey /Bruce County area, where she was sole owner /operator/artist of Wildwood Signs for over 23 years. And has many fond memories of her life and clients as a sign artist. She also through her years took an interest in glass arts. And does 17 different techniques on glass including Sand carving, gold gilding, glue chipping and acid etching.
In 2016 her work turned in a different direction, towards fine art, drawing then painting my experiences in Acrylics. In 2018 she was juried into both the Federation of Canadian Artists and the Society of Canadian artists. Then a few years later she joined the Toronto Chapter of the FCA.
