Williams artist profile |

 Denise
Williams is a single mother of one. Residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
she leads a simple life focusing on family, friends and art. Growing
up in Kansas, she began drawing the human figure at age four. Guided
by her mother, "an incredible artist herself," she says, she
eventually mastered the human form by age twenty. It was not until the
seventh grade that she began to draw nude figures and then was asked
by the school to attire them, which she did, dressing them in alluring
gowns reminiscent of Mythological Goddesses. It was this school’s
action that changed her focus from recreating the human figure to
displaying all the different interpretations of religious and social
ideals in her art.
Working in acrylic, Denise experiments with color and visualization. Though she is accurate in her renderings, when she chooses, she feels that a correct human figure is not the essence of art, but rather, if she conveys an emotion and studies an ideal then she has created art. Her work is known for its dramatic colors and movement as well as optical illusions which range from finding figures in abstracts to background and body movement as well as expression changes in individual works. Denise employs Leonardo da Vinci’s technique (in acrylics) applying a base coat and then adding up to 50 or more layers of water color coat consistency over the top, giving her work depth and a break in color where there appears to be none. |
