Utah painter and sculptor, L'Deane
Trueblood has received national acclaim for her sensitive portrayals
of the human face and figure. Her achievements have established
a solid reputation in both painting and sculpture. She is listed
in "Utah's 100 Most Honored Artists", in Who's Who in American
Art, and was featured in Feminine Fortunes "Fifty Most Successful

Much of her commissioned work involves painting and sculpting
children. In these tender portraits and statues, L'Deane has done
some of her most satisfying and beautiful work. Her skill at capturing
a childlike expression is unmatched. She has received many top
awards for both painting and sculpture in regional and national
shows. Her works may be seen in many private and corporate collections
throughout the country, including several museum collections. A
