ARTIST PROFILE

Deanna Lang is an emerging professional artist working in oil over mixed media on gallery-wrapped canvas. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and now based in Gulf Breeze, Florida, her work is inspired by the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast, the ocean, wildlife, and the quiet spaces between the visible and unseen.

Her paintings combine layered texture, expressive mark-making, and luminous oil glazes to create works that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to look beyond the immediately recognizable image.
