My name is Tess Deal. I have been a full-time working artist since 2011 and have a bit of an obsession with COLOR!  You can find my art and jewelry designs in the Etsy shops, Tessyla and JEWELbyTessyla. My wallpaper and fabric designs are available for purchase on Spoonflower (see SHOP tab for links). A curated selection of my abstract work can be found on Artfully Walls. My designs are available for licensing - please inquire by emailing tess@tessdeal.com or reaching out via the contact form at the top of this website.

My work has been featured in the following publications: Brides Magazine, Uppercase, In Her Studio, Southern Living, Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine, Houzz, Apartment Therapy, Huff Post, The Bump, Project Nursery, Where Women Create, NETFLIX and more.

I grew up on a tiny Floridian island and my love for all things tropical is carried through in my work. I have a formal degree in fashion design with specialization in textile and surface design. I currently reside in North Carolina with my supportive husband, Jon, and our sweet son, Zavian. When I am not creating art, I love to play card games, read magazines in the sun, and travel to visit family.
