Hello! My name is Deanna Nielson, and I am studying Art Education at Brigham Young University. I am passionate about engaging students through building their skills, creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge of past and current artists. In my personal art practice, I love creating socially relevant art. I especially enjoy working with textiles and photography. I enjoy exploring many different mediums as an educator and as an artist.
