Floral works of oil on canvas bloom with endless visual wonders. Denise seeks to get closer, almost to the point of abstraction, where hyper-realism gives way to fantasy. When she looks within a flower, she gets lost in the complicated precision of nature. Hawaiian flowers are exotic, vibrant, and the greatest inspiration for her work. Denise likes to put the viewer in the perspective of a bug or a bird, for which the flower exists in symbiosis.
