Artist Statement
"I am a Colorist and am known for bold works in the Avant-garde style as well as contemporary realism focusing on botanicals and landscapes, especially ponds.
I employ vigorous brushwork and texture through the palette knife in my work so that people may experience along with me the "feel" of the painting.
My pieces known as "Daubism" are created using a palette knife where each stroke of color is isolated from the others. Most pieces will have hundreds of different colors, these colors are all individually hand-mixed from a limited set of colors creating unique colors which relate to one another."
"I am always excited when someone connects with my artwork- I am delighted to share a vision of color and beauty with my collectors"- Dena Tollefson
