Eastern and Western thinking with an emphasis on color,
space, and the relationship between the two. Her use of
traditional elements takes on new life with intricate
detail and a strong sense of design. The artwork of Deena
Gu has been featured in dozen of exhibitions and has been
shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the United
Nations. The artist, who lives in Philadelphia, also
maintains a studio in Falmouth. Find out more at www.deenagu.com. Join
