The Artist

Denise started her creative journey early in life at aged 10 after being gifted oil paints and a canvas pad.

At high school Denise excelled in art and developed her artistic voice through years of exploration and experiment as a hobby artist. In 2024 after a 12 year hiatus Denise returned to the canvas, finding that rekindling her artistic passion was instrumental in nurturing her mental health and well being. Denise is primarily self-taught learning through experimenting with techniques, materials and ideas. After a successful career in the sport and events industry spanning 34 years, she has now commenced painting on a part time basis.

Denise feels lucky to call lutruwita/ Tasmania home and draws much inspiration from the natural environment and her travels.
