Denise is a self-taught artist (with an occasional workshop to help) that began painting after her retirement from laboratory medicine in 2012.

Little did she know she was beginning a new journey and following his passion as well. Denise now resides in Morgan Hill with her husband and 2 dogs after spending most of her life in Cedar Crest, NM. They love spending time with family and traveling. ARTIST STATEMENT
My painting is impressionistic and I use exaggerated colors, broad strokes and palette knives to capture energy, movement, and expressions of domestic animals, wildlife and the natural imagery of the southwest and west coast. LOCATION

I was always interested in the visual medium and I started painting as a way to deal with my gradual loss of vision. I've learned that visual capability is not what makes for great art but rather showing others how to see differently has a more profound impact. Every few years, I reinvent myself as a painter based on current visual ability and my environment. I capture fleeting moments of light, atmosphere on natural landscapes, expressing the dynamism and impermanence of all things. artist statement
I am often asked, “Sanjay, what can you see?" As an artist with gradual vision loss, my goal is not to show the world what I see. I paint to show how to appreciate people's differences differently. LOCATION

I have been creating art in some form or another for most of my life. I tend to do things for periods of time and then move on to other areas of interest, but I always come back to ceramics. I started doing ceramics almost 30 years ago when I lived in Colorado. I've gathered enough equipment to have my own studio, but learned that I prefer to work in community. I've loved working with ceramics artists from Gavilan College and have refined my skills enough to be proud enough to publicly show my work. ARTIST STATEMENT

I retired from a career in journalism. I worked as writer and editor at publications ranging from San Francisco magazine to the San Jose Mercury newspaper. Additionally, I created kid’s science courses -- model rocketry, mechanical sculpture, code breaking -- for the Tech Museum of Innovation. I've always had a home studio.
