Her work also explores the matriarchal role through her feminist perspectives, looking at the history of marriage and the oppressive function it has played within her family. Deanne has completed the following educationala achievements. 2014 – 2015 Masters by Research (Visual Art), Deakin University Geelong 2013 Graduate Diploma in Education Secondary, Federation University 2011 Certificate IV in Aboriginal Contemporary Art & Craft 2010 Cultural Heritage Management Course, Lakes Entrance 1 Week 2007 – 2010 Graduated, Bachelor of Visual Arts with Honours, University of Ballarat 1984 Diploma of Art, School of Mines & Industries TAFE This item is part of the Federation University Art Collection.
