Exploring De'VIA: Celebrating Deaf Art Experience

Established in 2010, my art studio is dedicated to De'VIA, a form of art by deaf artists. I paint about the Deaf experience and Deaf history, using symbols such as Deaf pride and sign language. Learn to paint with red, yellow, and blue to express the vibrant Deaf culture.
