Wanda Dehan

Wanda Snader Dehan is an artist residing in the historic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She shares her life with her husband, Tim, and their beloved English springer spaniel, Flynn. Primarily working with soft pastels, Wanda has developed a distinctive style that eloquently captures the essence of her subject matter. Before pursuing art in depth, Wanda had a fruitful career as a state legislative attorney. Her transition from law to art marked a new chapter in her life, one that allowed her to explore and express her creativity more freely. Wanda’s focus in painting predominantly revolves around landscapes. Her goal is to convey the beauty and light inherent in nature through her work. Wanda’s artistic journey is deeply rooted in her surroundings. Many of her paintings reflect the serene and picturesque landscapes of Gettysburg and its environs. However, her inspiration doesn’t end there. Wanda loves to travel, and her adventures elsewhere have also influenced her work. Each painting tells a story, be it from a quiet meadow or a golf course scene in Pennsylvania to a picturesque walk abroad. This exhibition marks Wanda’s second solo show, a testament to her continuing love of art. Her paintings are not just a visual treat but also a reflection of her passion for capturing the fleeting moments of beauty in the world around us.
