Deanna Lankin

Deanna Lankin (b. 1982) is a Canadian figurative and coastal-landscape artist living and working in Tofino, BC. Mostly self-taught, she paints exclusively in oils and credits her supportive and loving parents as her reason for being an artist. Lankin’s style combines the antiquity of classical oil technique with a contemporary palette, focusing on the West Coast landscape and its people. Her work belongs in private collections all over the world. Lankin brings a fresh, feminine perspective on figurative portraiture and landscapes with her palette of muted colours, sweeping texture and expansive, etheric use of negative space for which she is known.
