De Shan

Born in Adelaide, Australia on December 16, 1976, Desan was introduced to art at an early age.
After moving to the United States, she began her college education and earned her BFA in Painting (1993) and MFA in Printmaking (1997) from the University of Oklahoma, Norman. She worked as an illustrator and taught drawing, painting and woodcut printmaking art workshops before becoming an Oklahoma Artist-in-Residence in 2000.
After retiring from this position, she opened a studio/gallery in Paseo, in the heart of Oklahoma City's Arts District, where she dedicated herself to becoming a full-time art business owner. From this career change, her work has been collected by many notable corporations and individuals. Some of these works include murals that span entire walls. Now living and working on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, Desan is a professional artisan, painting pet portraits and commissioned works full time, running art workshops and private lessons, and fulfilling her commitment to exhibit and sell 100 of her own paintings for 100 days a year for charity fundraising events.
