Deserae Catherin

Deserae Catherin is a photographer and artist. She believes that art is not always what everyone finds ideal or beautiful; rather, art is what emerges from the heart and creativity of those that create it.

Early on, Deserae’s creativity took many different forms, such as creating jewelry with her Grandmother, painting, building, and styling herself.

She began her work in digital art in 2020, making her own characters with distinctive looks and styles. She continued to do this for a couple of years before experiencing a harsh art block. In an effort to fight against losing that creative part of herself she
decided to take the Introduction to Drawing class at her local college, which helped her bring that spark back, she had practiced different mediums including pencil, charcoal, and ink. Learning different art techniques as well this brought her into the world of traditional physical art. She started attending her mother’s, Jennifer Steffin, fan meet-and-greets with her at the end of her art course ended in December 2023, which is when her art really started to pick up again outside of assignments.

It began small with helping digitally create silhouettes of her mother and her aunt when they were young, utilizing that to create books marks. Pivoted from silhouettes to digital paintings of her mom and aunt in costume on a prairie field, this artwork will later serve as the book cover.

Then for some unknown reason in August 2024, she picked up a paint brush, starting with acrylic on canvases as small as 3×3 inches painting covered prairie wagons and little houses.

Recognizing there was room for improvement, she needed help with the backgrounds and scenery. The acrylic paint was too thick for details on such a small format and she was not happy with the results.

Thankfully, Orlando de la Paz sat down with her in April of 2025 at an event and he showed her his process using a different medium called gouche. She tried it and at first it failed – on a commission of all things. So she started over and it came out much better. Within a year her paintings improved and all it took was a change in medium
and technique.
