Lifetime Indiana resident Shawn Deitch spent her early years painting, drawing and creating art from fabrics, clay, and found objects in her immediate world; plaster, copper, lumber and botanical items.  College led her away from art toward law school and successful careers in business, law, accounting and commercial real estate.  When her boys matured into young men pursuing their own life paths, a spark, or perhaps a fire, rekindled a desire to dive back into the joyous world of art.  She is a member of the Hamilton County Artists’ Association, the Hoosier Salon, the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association and the American Impressionist Society. Shawn now works exclusively in oils and has studied with numerous regional and national artists.
