Bittersweet Art

Veronica Ronnie Deevers

Featured Work

Veronica "Ronnie" Deevers was born in the Quad Cities but has traveled quite a bit while showing Chow Chows in the early 1980's. She moved to Charlotte, Iowa during her marriage and now resides in Camanche.

"Even after the divorce, I decided to stay in this area because I've met so many wonderful, down to earth people" say Ronnie, claiming they are the reason she was so motivated to pursue her art talents and try her hand at competing.

"My very first competition was with Pheasants Forever and I was thrilled to take fourth place. It was my first time out and I had no clue what to expect." Since then she has also taken the 2005 Artist of the Year for Ducks Unlimited.

"Competing is rough" states the artist. "There are a lot of fantastic artists out there. While I enjoy competition, I like commissions even more. It is wonderful to see the look on your customer's face when they pick up their painting and it's exactly what they hoped for."

Ronnie is also quite skilled at photography and was a semi-finalist in a photography contest and her photo "Gentle Reflections" is featured in the coffee table book Endless Journeys.

Ronnie has two daughters and three grandsons.
