ABOUT DENISE

 am a Northeast Wisconsin–based artist whose work is guided by curiosity, play, and an intuitive creative process. Rather than beginning with a fixed plan, I allow each piece to evolve through exploration, responding to the materials as they reveal texture, movement, and unexpected possibilities. My work is inspired by the natural world, everyday moments, and the energetic quality of place. I am drawn to processes that encourage discovery and transformation, and I aim to create pieces that invite viewers to pause, engage, and form their own connection with the work. I value community and creative exchange and would be honored to be part of the diverse group of artists represented by Up Arts Gallery.
