"Ulysses" Big Tusker African Elephant Wildlife Photography Photograph - Limited Edition of 50

I’m Deanna, an artist shaped by solitude and the wild. Drawn to the last untamed corners of Africa, I travel alone, listening, waiting, and witnessing—camera in hand. Through photography, I tell quiet stories of wild lives: raw, instinctual, vanishing. My work honors stillness, using negative space, soft monochromes, and earthborn tones to echo the rhythm of the natural world.

This is more than art. It’s a love letter to the land, a call to protect what remains. Through my lens, I stand with the voiceless—speaking out against trophy hunting, captivity, and the extinction happening in real time. Recently featured in Mother Magazine, I continue to share stories that ask us to pause, to feel, and to remember we are part of this wild world—not apart from it.
