Denise Du Broy’s paintings have evolved over the years to a more abstract composition inspired by both the external textures and shapes of the Black Hills/Great Plains region and internal landscapes. Her paintings are not narrative, nor literal representations, and they develop without preliminary drawings. She is most interested in the adventure, the search, and the tools she uses. Her artistic goal is to stir and evoke emotions, responses, and memories from life experiences. She tries to straddle the line between the emotional and the rational; the spontaneous and the controlled.
