the artist
A native Kentuckian, Deanna has called Virginia home since the mid-eighties. In May of 2001, Deanna launched her business "Pet Portraits by Deanna" and started drawing and painting custom pet portraits, in both pencil on paper and oil on canvas. Deanna serves clients working in all mediums throughout the United States and Canada.
the charities
As of December 2009 Deanna has raised $16,570 by donating her pet portraits at auctions to benefit both human & animal charities around the country since September, 2001.
Deanna founded a non-profit in 2009, The Penny Cemetery Fund to restore an historic black cemetery in Richmond, VA in honor of Maggie L. Walker, the first woman in the US to charter a bank.
the talk show host
In addition to her artwork Deanna also produced and hosted her own TV talk show. She launched "Capital Pets" in May of 2005. The show is currently on hiatus.The first 41 episodes showcased a myriad of pet related issues, animal law and related policies, animal welfare, spay and neuter education, animal rescue and dozens of pet related charities. Each show is an in depth look at the way animals touch our lives and are as varied as the most posh of doggie bakeries to the dedicated volunteers and their pets visiting the elderly in nursing homes with a friendly smile and the wag of a tail.
Deanna donated the design for the cover and all of the artwork within. It's full of wonderful recipes! ALL proceeds go to help their animal rescue efforts! Click here to order a copy... or two!
