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 was very pleased to find that three of my entries were accepted into the Bosque Conservatory Art Classic show in Clifton, Texas, September 12-27, 2009.
This show gets a very large number of entries, this year it received 975 entries, from which 144 were chosen in four categories. I had these two Hereford works in the paintings category:   Ranger Portrait 16"x20" (sold at the show) and Crowded Cows 18"x18" and this (American Bison) Buffalo Portrait (Charcoal and Oil) in the drawing category:  Buffalo Portrait 16"x20" |
