Deena Haynes is an artist living in the hills of Aptos, California surrounded by trees, an organic flower farm and wild creatures. She has been creating and selling art for over 18 years and loves pushing the edges of materials, printing on unusual surfaces and combining layers of mediums with untraditional processes. Her deep love of nature is reflected in her artwork and she can frequently be found hiking or cycling around the Santa Cruz County.
She has a passion for art photography and experiments with her pinhole, instant, phone and digital cameras. Her photographs often become an underprint or overprint with printmaking or painting through various methods such as screenprinting, cyanotype, photo transfers, double exposures, and solarplates.
Deena has exhibited her work in New York state, San Francisco and Santa Cruz, California. She has participated in Santa Cruz Open Studios for many years and her art work is in private collections in United States, Canada and Europe. She also developed and led Creative Coaching Groups for visual artists, combining her passion for coaching and art.
