Denise is a representational oil painter from Cloyne in East Cork. She studied Fine Art in Crawford College of Art, with further studies in Grennan Mill School of Art, Craft and Design in Kilkenny and Coleg Sir Gãr in Carmarthen, Wales. Oil paint is her medium of choice for its versatility, which lends itself well to the creation of depth through thin layers of paint.
Denise continues to be inspired by the natural world around her. She has always had an interest in nature and the great outdoors, the beauty of which motivates her to create. The way light falls on objects brings an inspirational glow of colour and feeling to the scene and this is what Denise aims to capture in her work, thus offering the viewer an opportunity to wonder – she comments, “I believe Art is a visual Poetry”.
Denise explores themes of place, presence, light and the beauty of nature in her work.
