Heather Denson's Artist Statement

As I paint, a door of transition opens. A culmination of dreams and waves of energy arise.

Life’s energy teases me at various levels. Some mornings I awake with certain colors or a design embedded in my psyche. Other times, while trekking through nature, I feel contentment and joy at all levels and emotions arise.  Painting is my release, my voice.

From a place of love, I ignite my candle and creativity. I reflect and set an intention for each oil painting.  My brush moves effortlessly as I apply the base colors; I am in my "flow."  This is a surreal time as I feel various emotions.  Sometimes I use my palette knife, creating thick textured lines and swirls.  Some designs are vivid, others are soft. As my name is etched into the piece, deep contentment and profound inner knowing is established.

Painting voices my various layers of thought and emotion.

A Testimonial:
"Heather's paintings really capture a mood. Not just of the people that own the painting - but of those that enter the room and see it (as well as the room itself).  Heather's positive attitude really does transpire through her work, and it is a great honor to display just such great talent in my house." - Jen Read, Madison, WI
