2020 Highlights

Getting to work in the studio! The year 2020 started off with a bang in more than one way. Prior to us knowing that we were entering a Pandemic or the ramifications of such an event I conducted my first Vision Board Workshop at Little Tree Art Studios. Looking forward to inviting you to my 2022 workshop. Click here to view 2020 in the studio.

I knew I wanted to be an artist when I started taking art classes in high school. I would come home and make all kinds of crazy sculptures from any found objects I could conjure up, long before they were known as “mixed media”.

As an educator I was always a strong supporter of the arts. My students were often recognized for their artistic ability which I fostered through the integration of art across the curriculum.

My efforts were rewarded by winning numerous awards and accolades, especially for the mixed media murals they collaboratively created.

As an administrator for the New York City Public schools, I supervised many performing and visual artists in the schools as part of the artists residency program. This afforded many lasting memories and creative experience for thousands of students throughout my career.

You’ll experience this same passion today.

“Denise creates these amazing mixed media collages by way of her own vision, or in working with the vision of her clients.

We very much enjoy her presence here at Little Tree and we are always excited when someone brings something new and unique to the table.” - Bob Means Owner/Manager

Denise also is delightfully personable and I enjoyed visiting her gallery!” - Jessica Anderson Esq.
