ABOUT DEANN L. PROSIA


DeAnn L. Prosia - Etchings, Watercolors, Ceramic Sculptures

 

Born in Chicago, IL, DeAnn L. Prosia studied at Northern Illinois University and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her interest in printmaking developed after she met Chicago printmaker Phillip C. Thompson at university. She instantly knew this was the medium she wanted to pursue. Over the course of three days, he taught her the basics of printmaking, and on the fourth day, she ordered her first printing press and set it up in her studio apartment. DeAnn has been creating etchings since 1990, using her signature style to produce tone with finely drawn cross-hatched lines to create rich, detailed images.
