Denise
lives in Ventura County, California with her husband and their dog. She is retired and now finally able to
pursue her lifelong passion of painting and creating in her home art
studio. Denise began her painting career at an
early age. In fact, when she was in kindergarten and grade school, while
the other kids were doing finger paintings, Denise painted portraits and
landscapes, and her paintings were hung in the principal’s office. She
always knew being an artist is what she would be when she grew up and no one
questioned that, it was expected, and she continued to pursue Art ardently
in High school and Collage.

But alas, one
day she found herself a divorced single mother of a 5-year-old adorable
boy and out of necessity changed her career course. Then for the next 28 years she
worked for the Department of Defense/Navy. The job was rewarding and
enabled her to travel the globe and meet many new and cherished friends,
however, her heart still longed to be an artist. Now her dream has come
true, and she is free to paint to her heart’s content.

Denise finds a
lot of inspiration from photos her son takes. 
He is a Captain of a local Fishing boat and gets amazing photos while
fishing the Channel Islands along the California coast.

It is her hope
that you enjoy her work and order some prints for your home today. If you are
interested in an original, please contact her at denise@seaworthyart.com.
