Deanna Jacombe ’23

Deanna Jacome is a interdisciplinary painter investigating the embodiment of interconnectedness rooted in gratitude to place out her self-made tiny house in the woods of Freeport, ME. She works with sustainably sourced materials that are found, gifted, or foraged within her environment, making oil paints, inks, and dyes from quarry stones, freshly picked wildflowers, and kitchen remnants. The shapes of color in her paintings express the warmth, intimacy, groundedness, and transformation which occurs from everyday sensation when in direct relationship to her environment living with chronic pain and illness.
