History |
Oil and
acrylic painting and drawing have always been a part of Detta's life since she was a child. After high school, she
graduated from Omaha Commercial Art School. She worked as a
commercial artist for a couple of years and joined art clubs
in Omaha. She participated in many art shows and also
studied life drawing for six years.
At age thirty-four, Detta decided to go back to college
and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the
University of Nebraska at Omaha. When she moved to the
Charleston area in 1983, she enrolled in several classes in
Art and Art History at the College of Charleston. Meanwhile,
Detta created many pen and ink house portrait drawings for
patrons across the USA.
Detta's work is easy-going but balanced. It has a
feeling of being there in a momentary flash of sight. She
has always had a deep interest in art history and the
artist's placement in the scheme of things. Detta has
received many awards over the years and is impatient to see
how her work will evolve. |
