Denise Currier
Art seems to find me in a place of defined self taught creative play. I select themes inspired by everyday activities and images that fit into a series of dimensional art forms. Each design series are considered by others as all over the place, but self described as always in the same place of my achievements by use of materials, techniques and/or theme with a familiar artistic approach and representation. If I am happy with the journey and the final outcome, then I have accomplished success. Always adrenalized and excited about the next ARTrageous project.
