Deedee Hampton is a diverse painter- she creates paintings in two unique styles. For the Tour, Deedee creates mosaic animals, flowers, hearts etc on rocks that can be put outside or in. She will also have prints of her paintings on canvas, tea towels, door mats, etc. and clay objects.
 
Her series of playful “Spirit Animal Paintings” are inspired by the animals she often sees near her home in the Rocky Mountains or while traveling. For Deedee, a Spirit Animal is an animal that either shows up in the flesh in a person’s life or symbolically in dreams, meditation or images to that person. The person feels a deep unique connection to that animal. This animal (& there can be more than one) guides and inspires the person with its characteristics. The spirit animal is also a metaphor, often humorous, for someone or something a person relates to or admires. Hampton’s paintings contain mandalas in the background- they are the animal’s spiritual energy grids.

​

Her “Magic, Mirth, & Mystery Paintings” allow bold symbolic images to surface, telling stories about the inner landscape. Hampton is a storyteller and cultural commentator. She loves color, symbology and beauty. Some of her work is very personal, but much of it is a launching pad for conversations about contemporary culture and life’s shared experiences.
