DeAnn has stated about her line etching; "I have always been fascinated how society has historically built beautiful and interesting architecture to fill the needs of people and their everyday lives. I like how they look by themselves and also how they work together in a setting. With my etchings I'm structurally creating images by building up layers of line and tone. Recently I'm finding myself interested in complex structures in unrecognizable locations hoping people will focus on the technique and detail I've built up through my cross hatching and construction of my work."
