Deanna Tyson is a freelance textile artist.

Deanna is currently Chairperson of the Guild of Silk Painters. Working mainly to commission, her textile pieces are in collections from Dubai to India, U.K. to U.S. and from Poland to The Netherlands.

"I delight in working with clients to create unique pieces. Wall hangings, banners, waistcoats, pictures and kimono in painted and stitched silks and calico cottons. I love the challenge of expressing a client's visions in my particular style."
