DeAnne Williamson is an artist and designer living in San Clemente, California. Her interest in art began at a young age while growing up in the Mojave Desert town of Barstow, California. Having a father who was a landscape oil painter, she was always encouraged to use her creativity to pursue various art projects.

After graduating high school, DeAnne attended San Diego State University in the graphic design program. After receiving her BFA, the desire to put her creative talents to work led her to a successful career in graphic design. She worked for several graphic design firms from 1993 – 2002 with a 3-year break in between to study art history in Europe. In 2002, she made the decision to break off on her own to do freelance design.With more flexibility in her work schedule, she also decided to pursue her longtime love of fine art.

DeAnne works with mixed media on canvas: collage, acrylic and found objects. She believes that art should not only look beautiful, but should also have beautiful stories that stir emotions. Her art has rapidly gained local interest and has been displayed at the Bradford Gallery in Newport Beach, CA and the WestEdge Gallery in San Clemente, CA. DeAnne lives in San Clemente with her husband Greg and son Oliver.
