Spring 2009 - DeeYoumans was one of seven artists chosen by the City of Clearwater for their art to grace the banners which will celebrate the baseball spring training.

2009 Commissioned Work - Dee just finished a commission of a portrait of a great grandfather. The great grandson had only a poor xerox copy and wanted something more permanent. So, instead of just a portrait, Dee researched images surrounding the wonderful story of how he worked with Alexander Bell to create the telephone. The end design collaged the portrait, text and the early telephone to create not only a painting, but a conversation piece as well.

Summer 2008 - Rocker V was chosen as First Place for the Summer show of the North Tampa Arts League. A super realistic closeup of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, merges the reflection of chrome and all that makes the rolling sculpture unique.

Testimonials
   
     "Working with Dee was a great experience. She listened, asked a lot of questions, and even did some of her own research before she presented me with her final interpretation of the artwork. I was very pleased. The painting is exactly what I was looking for! "
            Patina R., Private Commission

 

   "The mural that Dee Youmans-Miller designed for the interior wall of my lobby is such a conversation starter for visitors. The mural is of the continent of Africa with the pictures of the two children that my students sponsor positioned on top of it. The concept and design were exactly what I saw in my head. I could not be more pleased with the results. "
