Hello,
I’m Deena and I live on the South-West Coast of Victoria in a town called Geelong. I am a mother of two, a boy and a girl. I have been creating since I was little, paints, pencils, paper, drawing and cross stitch, although I would love to leave how to crochet. When I moved out of home a long time ago I started making cards and still love making them. I stopped creating for a while when I met and married by husband. But when my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (auto immune disease) I needed an outlet a time to switch off so I began creating again, that was nearly seven years ago. I started off making clean and simple cards but then I discovered mixed media. Oh, my gosh a whole new world opened up now I create cards, art journal pages, canvases and sometimes scrapbook layouts. I love getting messy and letting my creativity run free, sometimes it gets out of hand but I do rein it back in on occasion. I don’t think I have a particular style but as long as it has lots of texture and colour I am a happy creator. I am really looking forward to creating for Art and Soul Studio and providing you with inspiration whether it be to start off your mixed media journey or the continuation of it.
