The Blue Whole Gallery is proud to welcome the artist, Dee Cantlon, whose work captures the spirit of nature, travel, and western culture through the dynamic interplay of acrylic painting and the intricate technique of pyrography (woodburning). Dee’s artistic journey is one of resilience and passion, culminating in a rich and expressive body of work that speaks to her love for the natural world and cultural heritage.
Dee has always been an artist at heart. Despite being discouraged in her youth from pursuing art as a career, she never let go of her creative drive. For years, she nurtured her artistic passion as a hobby and occasional side venture while dedicating herself to a 23-year career in nursing. Now retired, Dee is embracing her “third act”—fully stepping into the role of an artist and immersing herself in the vibrant world of color, joy, and light. Her journey is an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance and artistic evolution.
We invite you to visit the gallery and view the rich hues of Dee’s paintings and the realism of her pyrography.
Welcome to the gallery Dee!
