Denise Wellenstein

Denise's paintings are a process of exploration of color, relying on design elements, shapes, composition, contrast, and texture to give depth, character and energy to the colors.

"Color is very intuitive for me and is mainly what draws me to making oil paintings."

"To me, the painting comes truly alive only when a connection is established with a viewer through the shapes, colors, and texture of the painting."
