Artist Statement:

The relationship between light and shadow has always been an important part of my painting. Capturing the shape of a shadow or the subtle change in a tone can bring an image to life. Negative space and the changes created by light are what form the composition. Reflections are another aspect of this relationship and can be found throughout nature and in everyday objects. My eye has always been drawn to the distorted or nearly mirror-like effect of the optical illusions. 

Join us in celebration of Denise Brack with "The Next Chapter" at the Jeanne Horan Gallery at Ventress Memorial Library, April 18 - May 30. Opening Reception on Friday, April 24 from 5:30-7:30pm - We hope to see you there!

Artist Statement:

The Next Chapter is about my journey as a painter. I've learned over the past several years that I find joy in painting figurative works and portraits. My hope is to tell a story and evoke emotion, while the viewer finds their own meaning in each piece. I love capturing the natural world around me while focusing on light and bringing a sense of place to life onto the canvas. I also enjoy working with graphite, charcoal, and watercolor, and creating landscapes in places that resonate with me such as Downeast Maine, Oregon, and the South Shore.
