Artist Statement: I’m a Bay Area painter who strives to visually express some of my memories and experiences from a deep level. I hope something in my work speaks to you and evokes a feeling from somewhere you’ve been, someone you’ve known, a dream you’ve had, or a moment in your life…that words simply can’t describe.
Bio: I have always felt that being an artist was my destiny, and would sit for hours drawing as a child. After college, I had a long and successful career in marketing while raising my two sons. I’ve since developed a robust art practice that includes abstract, figurative and narrative subject matter often inspired by my travels. Some of my key inspirations are the Bay Area Figurative Painters like David Park, Diebenkorn, and the New York Abstract Expressionists like Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner and Rothko. I regularly show in juried exhibitions throughout Northern California and Arizona where my work can be found in private collections. It's a privilege to share my work with you. Denise Hillman |
