TASTING ROOM ARTISTS MYRLENE LEGENDRE DESIR & DEB WIEDENFEFT
EXHIBITING NOVEMBER 14 - JANUARY 16
MYRLENE LEGENDRE DESIR
Myrlene Legendre Desir is a self-taught artist who was born in Bassin Mayan, near Gonaives, Haiti in 1962. Desir developed a passion for art at an early age and studied art classes at George Washington University, Montgomery College, and Maryland University. She paints in both impressionism and realism styles and has exhibited in several art galleries and libraries in the U.S.
DEB WIEDENHEFT
Deb Wiedenheft’s love for art began with a simple box of 64 Crayola crayons and a stack of coloring books. Though she never received formal art training—aside from the classic school holiday crafts—Deb has continued to nurture her creativity through the guidance of art mentors and countless hours of YouTube tutorials.
​
Since picking up acrylic painting less than two years ago, her natural talent and dedication have already earned her recognition, with two of her works selected for juried shows.
​
“Painting relaxes me like meditation,” Deb shares. “I’ve always been deeply moved by nature—the endless shades of blue in the sky, the wistful travel of clouds, the gentle sway of trees in the breeze. It’s all magical to me.”
