Denise Hillman
I've always felt that being an artist was my destiny, and would sit for hours drawing as a child. After college, I had a long and successful career in marketing while raising my two sons. I’ve since developed a robust art practice that includes abstract, figurative and narrative subject matter often inspired by my travels. Most of my representational work is semi-abstract as I like to leave a lot to the viewer’s imagination.
For me, the act of creating is about self-exploration along with the desire to connect with others on a deeper level. I want my work to spark an emotion from the viewer, perhaps inspire curiosity, awaken a memory from their life; or simply to delight them with the particular colors, values, shapes and texture that create the story of the painting. I love being a part of the wonderful art community we have in the East Bay. I’m a member of the Martinez Arts Association, the Lamorinda Arts Alliance, Arts Benicia, and a Board Member of the Concord Art Association. artbydh.net [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/denise.hillman/ https://www.facebook.com/PaintingByDH |
