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".

I herd you- new painting of a Hereford and a Cow Dog by Denise Rich
Here is a brand new piece, from one of the very best reference photos I've ever taken (in my opinion.) I was actually taking pictures of the Hereford, when this Border Collie (maybe a Australian Shepherd) decided to pose as well. I really loved how the Hereford's ear is bent back listening to the dog approach.
