The Artist Says:
A few years ago when walking around the city of Chicago I passed by the Studebaker Fine Arts Building building, above the main doorway was the following inscription: "All passes – Art alone endures.” This profound --and true-- statement is what I believe artists
are here for. We are the creators of culture whose work will endure for centuries.
Collectors Say:
Denise Wood's paintings are full of the joy of life. They are exquisitely rendered. Her skill is obvious. However, the technical never over shadows the feeling but only enhances it. - Leslie, Fleming Island, Florida
