Sailboat Artwork

Each piece tells a story, commemorating the various locations she has sailed, often alongside her family on their boats, SIX BROTHERS and SWEET DE. The artwork reflects not only the geographic beauty of these areas but also the emotional connection and sense of adventure that sailing brings. Denise's work resonates with fellow sailors and art enthusiasts alike, offering a distinctive way to remember cherished locations and experiences.

The creative process at Sailboat Artwork is a harmonious blend of cartographic precision and artistic expression. Denise meticulously selects paper nautical charts, each telling its own story of the sea. By dry-mounting these charts and applying acrylic paint, she transforms them into innovative and distinctive pieces of art.. This deliberate methodology ensures that each artwork is not just a visual feast, but also a celebration of the maritime heritage associated with the depicted locations. The final pieces serve to enhance appreciation for both the beauty of nature and the cultural importance of the seascapes they represent.
