Best known for her bovine renditions, with unique compositions and contemporary views, Denise has combined her love of animals and art in oil for the past 20 years.
Denise's focus for the past several years has been cows because "Cows make me smile. I seriously can't look at one and hold back a smile. I don't just see an animal, I see a personality, and that is what I am working to present in my paintings of cows." In 2006 Denise received a commission from the California Milk Advisory Board to paint their famous Happy Cows of the Real California Milk campaign. This led to becoming "The Official Happy Cow Artist", as seen on their website.
Her creative process begins with field work, taking reference photos. Cows being a favorite subject means "field work" can be taken literally, and involves careful stepping!
With a signature "painterly realism" style Denise breathes life
into her subjects, often bringing viewer comments of how "you could just reach out and touch them" and "I expect them to mooo".

One of my favorite subjects (besides cows) are children. This painting is number four in a series I have done of girls playing in the waves at the beach. The original reference photo for this painting was taken at dog beach in Ocean Beach. This scene brings forth memories of growing up in San Diego, summer at the beach, the feeling of waves splashing against you. I remember how after spending the day doing that, I could still feel phantom waves splashing against me even after I went home.

"I'm ready for my close
up...." I love those cow faces, this one looks like she is about
to walk right out of the painting right at you. This portrait is
more towards realistic in style but still has a painterly
quality.

...sold
before I had a chance to finish it. This is my latest work, just
finished early this week. One of my collectors purchased this
painting before I had a chance to clean my brushes! I love the
cow on the left, she has that little cap of black hair that looks to me
like a certain religious head adornment so I had to call this
painting Holy Holstein. I will be posting another large work for
sale here early next week. Cheers!
