Dedra Crutchfields - Ethnic Echoes
A native of Oakland California and a single mother of a 25 year old daughter. Dedra is a self taught Artist who started drawiing before high school. Dedra has an eye for color, which is shown by the vivid colors that are used in her work. Dedra loves her heritage which she captures with such detail and perfection. Dedra's art is a combination of her bohemian personality coupled with her free spirit and strong beliefs.
Dedra's work is vibrant, beautiful and meticulously detailed. She wants to share her Art with as many people as possible and thought this was the way, so... Dedra decided to put her art on cards and small prints this is her labor of love.
"My Art in card form will enable my work to reach more people".
"As I see it, my work is traveling from hand to hand, with love".
"I simplified the pictures to produce them myself".
