Nashville based mixed-media artist, Deeann Rieves powerfully combines realism and abstraction, working areas of loose free shapes and line with refined careful stitches and dynamic painting.

A series of small studies that contain each of the elements I use on larger paintings- thick acrylic brush strokes, fluid acrylic ink washes, coarse chalk contours, and delicate lines with machine embroidery that add subtle tactility to the small artwork that will make a big statement and bring a pop of color and texture to your home. You can collect a piece of the process with a mini painting. Deeann enjoys playing with color on paper fragments and these color studies breathe life into her larger paintings.
Process — Deeann Rieves
Today has been a productive and highly creative day. Not because of the amount of marks I made, because those were few, but the ones I made were meaningful, purposeful, and freeing. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve had many days recently where I’ve worked so hard but nothing is really finished or checked off my list. I’ve been sketching, pushing myself, writing, scribbling, staring, and putting in the kind of time that zaps all of my creative energy. A necessary part of the artistic process. ⠀ ⠀ Absol

A collection of mixed media paintings in black and white and neutral tones that combines figurative nudes and fluid abstracts.
Soothing abstract landscape paintings with subtle washes and serene color schemes full of tranquil blues and greens. Because each one is inspired by variegated leaves that resemble tiny landscapes, the paintings remain obscure enough to obscure enough to bring your own memories into the scene and decide if the forms are rolling hills or jagged mountains, reflections in a lake, or a river rushing past a tree line
Abstract paintings on watercolor paper in a neutral palette- mostly black, white, and grey tones and also a few pieces in neutral, muted, antique blues. Mixed media artwork framed and ready to hang in your home. A perfect way to add texture, style, and beauty to your interior decor with original artwork.

I want framing to be easy so that you can get your new artwork up on the wall to brighten your home with color and joy!

May Mini Mondays — Deeann Rieves
Thank you all for the kind messages checking on my family and me. We are safe. The tornado in Nashville came within a few miles of our home and was a scary experience. We lost power, but I am grateful that is all we lost because we have friends who have lost their homes and friends who have lost neighbors. ⠀ ⠀ We packed up and came to my parents house out in the country where I’m finishing up some mini paintings while my daughters play with their grandparents.
This collection of original paintings on watercolor paper are bright, colorful and whimsical. Each painting is float framed in a classy white frame displaying the raw, deckled edges of the watercolor paper. This is a unique way to frame original wall art that adds beautiful texture and shadow to the piece. Deeann's work is made with acrylic paint, fluid acrylic inks, and machine embroidery.
