Her work was known for its interpretation of natural themes in almost abstract forms.[1] She exhibited in shows and galleries throughout the US. Her paintings are included in many public collections. Dehn was born in Nevada, Missouri; she died at her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Dehn met the artist Adolf Dehn while she worked at the Art Students League and they married later.[2] The Dehn Poetry Competition for College Undergraduates, sponsored by the Connecticut Poetry Society, honors Dehn and her husband.[3]
