M’fanwy started seed beading over the winter! Come by to see her original designs. They are selling quickly.
When my mother, Sue Dean, took a pottery class during my dad’s sabbatical, it was the beginning of a lifelong vocation for her and would later directly influence the path I would take as an artist.
Growing up in the potter town of Newell, WV, she had filled the margins of notebooks and books with drawings of vases. Yet she didn’t work with clay until after she was married, had moved to Alaska, and had three children.
Our October show in the Dean Gallery will showcase her talent as a potter and also feature photographs taken by my father, Fred Dean. As a professor of wildlife management at UAF, he spent many summers in Denali National Park studying grizzlies. His love for nature extended to photography, much of which was of animals.
We are located at Dean Homestead and Art Studios, just 12 minutes from downtown Homer.
40374 Waterman Rd. Homer, AK 99603

Ranja’s deep connection with the four-legged kingdom, the magic of life, and many a night adventuring beneath the stars inspires much of her art.
You’ll see her bronzes and both giclee and metal prints of her graphite drawings. Her artistry extends to the beautiful grounds that surround the gallery, as well as the gardens guests visit on our 2-hour Dean Homestead and Art Studios tours.
Jeff has been making sculpture and wall art in clay, wood, bronze, stone, and steel since the late ’70s. His current focus is on creating significant, focal point wood and metal wall art.
He makes this metal wall decor using innovative techniques he has developed over the last 30 years. His metal wall art is available as both originals and metal photo prints.
Jeff also spends much of his time creating commissioned artworks for clients across the country.

M’fanwy is an artist and graphic designer.
She uses tiny chisels to hand-carve intricate designs into painted wood panels, which are available in the gallery both as originals and as prints on maple. She has become adept at carving her artwork using both her right and left hands.
M’fanwy bases many of her carvings on animals commonly found in Alaskan art. Her art has been published in international juried art annuals for imaginative realism and featured in galleries across the state.
In addition to The Dean Gallery, you can find her work locally at both Ptarmigan Arts on Pioneer Avenue and at High Tides Art on the Homer Spit.
