Denise Landis

AZ www.landisworks.com
Denise Landis is an Arizona acrylic painter that sees the world through a "Pointillism Veil".  She looks for subjects to paint by their primary and complementary colors.  In her mind, "I can't see one without the other".  Her paintings are built on the principles of Classical Pointillism, but for each painting, she uses different sized dots, dabs, or strokes to vary her pieces into what she terms "Modified Pointillism". Originally, Denise started painting with "dots" via cans of spray paint.  However, she soon grew tired of leaning forward to paint canvases on the ground and the smelly fumes didn't help.  In early 2000, she reverted back to painting with a brush on a vertical canvas.  Now, she incorporates musical rhythms and repetitive beats to maintain a steady movement around the canvas. The Denise Landis art studio, known as "Landisworks", is located in a primitive desert community outside the Phoenix metro area.  Denise's works are primarily shown in galleries and art centers around the Southwest so the opportunity to display art works with so many other artists in Atlanta motivated her involvement with this exciting project.
