About Denise... "Art That Whispers From the Soul"
Artist
The love of Art began for Denise as a child; drawing on anything & everything. After 4 years of Fashion Design study, she began creating Wearable Art and teaching fun, rebellious sewing techniques. Denise’s Wearable Art Garments have exhibited worldwide with the Bernina & Fairfield Fashion Shows. Her wearable art has been featured in in Sew News Magazine, Canada Quilts Magazine, The Edmonton Journal and The Edmonton Sun.
Denise recently discovered a new love: painting with acrylics.
She recently won 2nd place in the Intermediate Category for her painting “Waiting Patiently” at The Allied Art Council Open Art Competition.
Her paintings are in private and public collections including a purchase from The City of Spruce Grove.
Art Instructor
Denise says: “Being free to paint feels like a bird being let out of a cage.” So she freed her parakeets and they fly free with her in “The Soaring Peacock Studio.” There she shares her love of painting with children and adults teaching them Art and encouraging them to explore their creativity.
Focus in the Art classes is to have each student create original work with subject matter that interests them.
