Artist Background
Denise was a relationship counsellor, organising training workshops for communication skills before taking up a long-term desire to pursue a career as a painter. The pressures of raising three school age children delayed the fulfilment of her ambition until 1992 when she began to seriously paint and draw, graduating with a degree in Fine Art from IADT, Dun Laughaire in 2006. She has already achieved considerable success, working with an artists' appeal for Tsunami Victims in Dalkey, as a stage and set designer for CBS Monkstown Park, and to produce a quarterly school newspaper for a local Dublin primary school. Denise has exhibited work in a number of galleries in Ireland, most recently being selected for the RHA annual exhibition in Dublin.
