My name is Deanna Merrigan and I gave my art self the name Sagestone Arts so that I could share my interpretation of earth’s beauty and bounty. I love the color green (sage) and all that it represents. And the image of a stone or rock or mountain and all you can imagine in relation to that, I think really suits me. It has been a healing journey for me as I learn to take a moment to really look and put down on paper with a brush or pencil or pen what I see and feel.

I dream color. I see color.

In this age of meditation, being present and of healing, I’d like to share with you how I interpret this time. I hope that by looking at my artwork, you can feel a little what I feel and maybe even be a little inspired to try something too.

My alter ego is Renegade; with a bit of hippie thrown in. On the outside I’m rooted, strong and capable. On the inside, I’m a bit wild, carefree and unsure. Here I am learning to be a rooted renegade.
