D. J. KIGGINS — American Impressionist artist D.J. Kiggins was born on the 4th of July, 1954, in Los Angeles, California. Adopted into a loving family as an infant, she moved to and grew up in Newport Beach, California. Her adopted family excelled in the sciences, so when her artistic talent surfaced it was recognized and encouraged. She remembers her grandfather being her first advocate, admonishing her to keep painting, no matter what. This she did through High School, two degrees, one in Art and the other in Psychology, at California State University, San Diego, marriage and children.
D..J. counts among her many blessings Larry, a supportive husband of 25 years. She has two children, Christopher and Kerry Lynn, both currently attending college. Through all the many ups and downs of D..J.’s life her family stayed at the center of her attention. During their early years she taught art to children, adults and also gave seminars to teachers and educators. In her late 20s her parents had both passed away, which was devastating, but produced a rewarding consequence: she met her birthparents. This opened a whole, new world to her with many different experiences and lots of new family. She was delighted to learn of the many talented family members she had. Her birth mother is a prolific writer, her uncle is a student at Julliard and writes operas, and her cousin is a talented photographer. Along with the family she grew up with, getting to know her new one was joyful and only encouraged her in the pursuit of her art.
