Painting my way to a life-long goal
A Patreon project
Hello, my name is Darlene Deffes. I am inspired by living things especially animals, nature and anything that moves me deep in my soul. I enjoy a good challenge and I am goal oriented.
Patreon Road Trip Goal
In 2 years, I plan to paint (or draw) my way across country, visiting each of the 49 states (Hawaii will be at the end). I will be painting at least 1 plein aire painting in each state, as well as booking murals, portraits, taking requests etc.
Why?
The world is beautiful, and I would love to see it. I know the United States is a small percentage of the world, but I have to start somewhere. A cross country road trip has been a long-time dream of mine, my first attempt was in 2012 but I had transmission trouble and only made it to about 19 states. This time will be a success however, I want to do more than just meet this goal, I would like to exceed it and make it about you too. Follow my journey by becoming a patron and I will see you on the road!
Projected cross country departure date June 2023
