Aspen Arts Festival

Thank you Aspen!

It’s always nice to get out of the studio and connect with people. I love hearing what resonates with different folks and why they are drawn to certain things more than others. I find the study of human behavior at these events absolutely fascinating. Honestly, maybe even more fascinating than the artwork itself. My collectors tend to be people cut from a similar cloth. I say I would love to have a dinner party where they all get to meet. I think they would all get along and have an immense amount in common. Art is interesting to me in that way. The way it is a connection point for a common thread.

I’m off to Avon, Colorado next week! I look forward to seeing you there!

Summer Time!

Things have been busy over here in make magic happen land!  I have been having an absolute blast with my amazing client's.  Each and everyone of them is such a joy to work with.  They know what they want and are not afraid to let me loose after sharing specifics on dimensions, color palette and if they would like paper cranes or not.  I am therefore allowed the space to create and let the piece become itself.  

If you are out there and have a space that is calling for some magic please give me a shout, email, instagram or text!! I am here ready to create with and for you.

Big and Bright,

Big Easel 2018

It's spring here in Lafayette, Louisiana which means April showers bring May *more flowers.  The Big Easel is scheduled for Saturday April 14 from 9-5.  The town is a buzz in anticipation.  It truly is an amazing day for the entire Lafayette community, it is a testament to the unique personality of this wonderful city.  So many people come out to support all of the wildly talented local artists.  I feel blessed to be a part of the festivities.  All of the artists are looking ahead at the weather... 100% chance of rain is looking like the date will push to the next weekend... April 21!!  I am looking forward to sharing this body of work I have been creating... I look forward to seeing what a few of my favorite local artists have been up to and I am looking forward to seeing everyone who makes it out to play, support and celebrate the arts!!  To stay updated on when The Big Easel will actually take place follow me on Instagram @deedee.lantzy

All my best!

Holidays approach!

I am in full creation mode for a two week show at Dixon Smith in Baton Rouge.  The show will run from December 4-15.  Here is a sneak peak of a piece that will be available at the show.

Big Easel Preview Exhibit

Best Mixed Media at The Big Easel Preview Show 2017

Last week I had the pleasure of participating in The Big Easel Preview Exhibit!  All of the artist were asked to select one piece to represent their collection they will be showing on April 22 at The Big Easel in River Ranch. I chose one of my wings from Time to Fly. It won Best Mixed Media. I am over the moon. It was such a great experience meeting everyone. 

Basin Arts Exhibition

What a wonderful way to define collaboration.  Working with Basin Arts, Owner Clare Cook and Curator Jacob Broussard was a complete and utter delight.  I want to thank each of you who came to visit, look and purchase at both the Opening and Closing Receptions, as well as anyone who passed through the gallery while the show was up.  I know that this is just the beginning of the magic to be made with Clare and the entire Basin Arts family.  

Art Show at Basin Arts Feb 11 from 6-9

Selection process with Jacob at Basin Arts.

Please join me for a night of art and fun.  I will be showing my latest collection titled Wake/ Awaken at Basin Arts as part of Art Walk in Downtown Lafayette.  I am over joyed to collaborate with Basin Arts specifically Clare Cook the Owner and Jacob Broussard the Curator.  They have been delightful to work and play with.  We look forward to seeing you from 6-9 on February 11 at Basin Arts.
