ABOUT DENISE
Since graduating from City Art Institute, Sydney in 1983 Denise has been a practising and exhibiting artist. Her passion for the drawn and etched image has taken form in many series of works based on narrative themes borrowed from mythology, Biblical stories and directly from nature. Since moving to country NSW, rural, environmental, historical and landscape subjects have crept into Denise’s largely figurative output.
Denise has exhibited in many solo and group shows both locally and nationally, in galleries such as Holdsworth Contemporary, Flinders St Gallery, Sydney, Cowra Regional Gallery, Inkmasters, Cairns just to name a few. Denise has been a finalist in many national competitions such as the Portia Geach Prize, The Burnie Print Prize, The Fremantle Print Award, and won awards including the RAS Miniature and print section, the Camden Art Prize and Rye Art Awards. Her work is also included in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and The Art Gallery of NSW print collections.
Denise is also an experienced Arts educator and communicator with many years teaching Secondary students, Tertiary students and Adults.
