Denise Davis

Denise lives permanently in Inverness-Shire, Scotland. She studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC, with further studies of contemporary painting and life drawing at Chelsea School of Art and private classes in Sussex, England. She has been painting professionally since 1998

Denise's paintings are abstract - figures and landscapes interact and combine so that the viewer questions the inspiration. Paint is boldly applied and textured, with strong colour conveying strong emotion. Following on from successful exhibitions in Scotland, Denise's paintings are appearing in London for the first time.

I draw my inspiration mainly from the human form and the beautiful Scottish landscape that surrounds my home in the Highlands. It is usually my use of colour that people are first intrigued by, and then they discover the shapes and lines that make up the pictures. Most pictures are large and bold, with a sculptural feel to them.
