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".

Meet Kitty, my youngest cow
painting owner. At the age of three, Kitty has a thing for cows,
especially the udders, which her mother Viktoria tells me she calls
"bazookas!". It might be as her mom suggests that it has
something to do with being breastfed, I understand totally having had
two of my own that were not in a hurry to wearn. Kitty's mom
bought this painting for her, and she just had to touch the
"bazookas". How cute is that?
