Deanna Lavoie

Exploring the glory of childhood exploration and its enlightenment, my art is reminiscent of my own memories as a child and now as a parent. You will also find delightful little creatures in my backyard among my subject matter - lady bugs, dragonflies and bees actions seemingly spontaneous like a child's but perhaps more calculated than an observer would realize. Taking a step back into the larger frame, capturing my artistic eye, the beautiful and majestic Rocky Mountains and their appealing rolling Alberta Foothills. At last, my realization as an artist who wanted to do more than simply wear a poppy on Remembrance Day, inspired poignant WWI commemorative art pieces.
