Deanna Ansaldo was raised in Drexel Hill, PA and currently resides in Douglassville, PA. Rich with diversity and an academic culture geared towards the arts, her early education encouraged her to refine her talent for creating. She entered the visual art world with a strong foundation in drawing and illustration. Her personal art style can be described as an elegant blend of Art Nouveau and Impressionism, bordering Surrealism. Ansaldo graduated from the Robert E. Cooks Honors College at Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s Degree in both Studio Art and Psychology. Though employed outside her field of study, creation remains a priority, focusing on working as a professional artist creating personalized commissioned pieces, such as Music Album covers, tribute paintings, tattoo and Logo designs and custom concept art. She has a strong knack for communicating concepts visually through symbolism. Her personal series "Reflections on Reality" combines her love of Psychology, Philosophy and Art to tell a story of valuable life lessons through metaphorical imagery. Her work acts as an expression of her own personal research on the creative processes, exploring the relationships between our inner and outer worlds. Deanna is driven to notate the importance of creativity within humanity, while bringing a deeper mode of thinking into the visual art field. She is a versatile creator that has experience using Acrylic, ink, and pencil, secondary experience with ceramic and metalsmithing. She works primarily with 2-Dimensional mediums, and as of the year 2021, is focused on building her Digital Design portfolio, emphasizing her skillsets using Adobe Creative Software like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects, as well as her self-taught experience using Affinity Designer, Autodesk Sketchbook and Procreate.
