Deon Lewis: Visiting Artist at the Wiregrass Gallery

Born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, Deon learned to quilt at the young age of 12 and has honed her talents as a fiber artist for over 20 years.  She has always been drawn to the complexities of nature especially flowers and animals.  Her typical medium of choice includes fabric, fibers, thread and acrylic paint or ink.  She has spent many years studying quilting and collages. Recently she has experimented in eco-printing on silk and enjoys using nature that is at hand. She also enjoys silk screening and incorporating that in her work.
