Dean Mitchell (born 1957) is an American figurative artist who works primarily in watercolor and oil paint. His subjects, derived largely from African American culture, have been cited for their emotional depth, avoidance of facile sentimentality, and accomplished sense of formal design.
Mitchell was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1957, and raised in Quincy, Florida. After graduating from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1980, Mitchell moved to Kansas City, Missouri and started working as an illustrator at Hallmark Cards. He remained at Hallmark for the next three years and began entering national and international art competitions. When Hallmark terminated his employment in 1983, he decided to pursue painting as a full-time career.
Mitchell's artwork has been the subject of numerous articles, and is represented in museum and corporate collections, including the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the Saint Louis Art

Dean I feel your painting. ❤
What an inspiration!
Very compelling works. Executed with rare mastery. Keep up excellent work! Best wishes from Croatia!
I was at that show the Hubbards hosted in Ruidoso in 1990 and I knew who he was before (I worked for an art magazine). I regret that I didn’t get to meet him because I was already a fan of his work. Some of the greats of contemporary American realism were in attendance. I think that show helped propel him into the mainstream as well as helped further the cause of realism today. It was a memorable occasion with many great artists there.
I have only recently come across your work, Dean. And I am so glad I did. You don’t paint, you speak 🧡
EXCELLENT...............thank you Dean
I truly hope Dean Mitchell gains the respect and admoration that he deserves, within the Fine Art Community during his life. What an amazing artist and an inspiration for all.
He is most assuredly well thought of.
These people have a clean life too, it is good to see in art form their perspective of what surrounds them.
My new role model
Dean you are a hero. I also became a painter and have had a natural for painting black persons due to my background. I took top honors in a show in Italy out of all the American artist ,entitled “Blacks and blues” black musicians oil on canvas.
I am still in amazement by the piece you did of your grandmother entitled “ got my eyes on Jesus “ in a glimpse I stated to myself who did this . I grew up in the south and felt the spirit that he captured in this painting of this powerful subject. I grew up on the edge of what was known as the bottom. I sold mustard green 10cents a bunch from my dads garden. Little cotton topped kid with a bike and a basket full of greens. They loved me and I loved them.
He has stunning virtuosity focused on the pure power of everyday people. I'm so happy I learned about this artist.
Just, WOW! A Master - turely - such insights, one of my fav. Joseph

Beautiful. Touching!
Dean Mitchell is my hero in watercolour. His work inspires and informs me about painting what is and what you love. Thanks for this informative video.
Dean is one spectacular artist!
You are more wonderful every year, week, day, hour, moment! I will always remember and laugh at some of the things that we did. Paulette
We are all created from the same creative energy, thank you for addressing and correcting the near constant pressure to go through the world with a label or "identity".
The African American Andrew Wyeth.
Except that the great Wyeth only painted those actually around his own home..a microcosm. where MItchell has a broader view. I do not get the feeling that Mitchell is isolated from the world at all.
Amazingly Wonderful.
Just Wow! I am working on some pieces now that remind me of Dean's style. Another artist shared his name and I Googled it immediately. Thanks for sharing...your passion.
an inspiration for sure!
Very very impressive!! I saw some of his paintings in a exhibition in New Orleans in 2004, some months before the hurricane katrina. Thank You for sharing this, now my remembering is refreshed.
Amazing talent. Beautiful paintings. He seems to be a super nice person, too. Destined for greatness. No. Already great.
A genius with a sweet soul! A goal this year is to acquire an original !!!
by far my favorite artist
Beautiful work...I could watch this again and again...
Hi Dean, Beautiful! Take care :) Deborah
Dean Mitchell is outstanding, classic, so talented and great in his sensitivity and presentation. I believe that he will be historically equal to all the great artists of his era, like Andrew Wyeth and Howard Terpning, artists who see the heart of what they are portraying.
I know Dean for couple years ago, he is amazing ......... About the 900 views, forget about . People are here for something else, not for art..... Dean you deserve, keep the way you are, dont forget the light and the roots.. Adriano
.
I can't believe that this only has 900 views. Simply the best artist of our day!!!
Wonderful, Steve and Tony! I'm honored!
