Denise developed a new style of painting called, "Crystal Impressionism" inspired by Gaudi's stained-glass windows in Barcelona, Spain. Working in layers of impasto oil paints like the impressionists, her paintings are infused with light and texture imitating nature. Both pallet knife and brushes are used to "carve" into the thick layered paints; painting strokes continue around the edges of each gallery-wrapped canvas, creating a 3-dimensional effect.
