theArtist
Desiree Jane Currier, is a first generation, Filipino American, self taught artist. She grew up in Long Island, New York, before making Arizona her home in 2006. Raised by a secret artist mom, and handy dandy dad, Desiree figured out how to create art out of supplies she came across at home, and in nature with her imagination.
Drawing inspiration from nostalgic feelings, the love of family and friends scattered across the country, she expertly crafts soft pastel landscapes that truly speak to the heart.
Artist During Naptime
Nestled in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, Desiree lives with her number one fan, loving husband, Dillon, and her sons, Rocky and Wilder.
She joyfully pours her soul into every piece she creates. For Desiree, art isn't just a passion—it's a form of meditation and healing that helped her navigate the challenges of postpartum depression while embracing the role of a devoted stay-at-home mom. She found herself as a self-taught artist after her first born, Rocky.
After her second son was born, Wilder, she learned the magic of soft pastel from well known soft pastel artist, Valerie Mckeehan.
My Team
My number one fan will always be my loving husband, Dillon. He not only supports and motivates me to reach for the stars in my art journey, but also sees beauty in every piece of art, even when I doubt it.
Dillon's unwavering belief in me led to him enrolling me in my very first soft pastel class, demonstrating his commitment to my growth and success. His remarkable positivity shines through in everything he does, making him a constant source of inspiration and encouragement in my life. I married a goldendoodle.
