Born in Lewiston, Maine, Denis is self taught and has been painting since the tender age of nine. With great inspiration from Andrew Wyeth and unrelenting encouragement from friends and peers, it wasn't until 1994 that he became serious about his work. His previous lifestyle and commitments had always prevented him from exploring a hidden talent that is now, uncompromised. Always testing himself with different mediums his comfort zone became more apparent with watercolors. Enjoying the reaction of watercolor and paper his artistic instincts became more refined and true to his form. Currently residing in Auburn, Maine his distinctive style is unsurpassable and can best be achieved in his studio. From land to shore, New England scenery inspires his masterful talent as he continues to paint very distinctive award winning paintings. His expressions and composition remain true to his signature as he continues to create a selection of master pieces.
