Welcome

I’m Deanna Lamour, an American painter and jewelry maker.

In 2025, due to depression over the cruelty and inhumanity of the US government and its followers, I have not exhibited my work. I made only the one painting above titled ‘Lost, do you feel how I feel?’ These are very dark times, but the river of hope is still alive….even though it may run deep.
