Deits believes that her role as an artist is not
just to document and make pretty pictures or sculptures for visual enjoyment,
but it is to present the opportunity for the viewer to become more aware, to
present a philosophical concept, and to effect societal change and personal
growth. Her desire is to make a meaningful contribution to our society by
creating thought-provoking work — and to offer hope in our often-difficult
world.
