DeHaan was quite active in the Westchester art scene decades ago, and was a co-founder of the art group called ABRAXAS, meant to signify the diversity of its 10 member artists and their artwork. She studied at the Art Students League of New York and a number of her pieces adorn the walls of corporate and municipal office buildings. The exhibit is free.
