edit data

Dea is an artist, coloring book designer, and sometimes writer.

Her art was recently featured at The Eric Carle Museum of Storybook Art, and at Galleria West in Westfield, New Jersey.

Previously a makeup artist for Sony Studios, she happily traded in her 9-to-5 gig for a rewarding career as an artist, designer, and author. The best part: working from her home office, she gets to spend her days dreaming of her next story as she watches the waves crash.
