Under the Surface

Deanna is a San Diego–based multimedia artist and writer whose work bridges nature, philosophy, and personal power. Through her surreal acrylic paintings, introspective newsletter, and thought-provoking podcast, Revel&Reveal, she cultivates a deeper sense of connectedness—pushing viewers and listeners alike to examine their relationship with autonomy, identity, and the wild intelligence of the natural world.

​

In her paintings, Deanna often blurs the boundaries between human form and elemental forces. Her visual work poses quiet questions: Can nature root us into our own power, or is the world simply a chaotic experiment meant to shake us around?

​

Through Revel&Reveal, Deanna connects with guests who treat life as art, play, or performance—individuals who have taken full responsibility for their experience. Each conversation expands the listener’s understanding of what’s possible. The accompanying newsletter invites deeper reflection through personal essays that illuminate just how deeply interconnected we truly are.

Deanna’s multidisciplinary approach invites us into a poetic investigation of the self in relation to the world—where art is both mirror and portal, storm and stillness.
