Session Four/June 23-27Denise Ryan Intermediate Level This course will not stress a stylistic technique other than "representational". The student will have the freedom to strive for a highly realistic, or looser, painterly style. The class will have more to do with attitude toward presentation, design, unusual choice of subject matter, and dramatic use of light and color. Students should have basic knowledge of painting, composition, and color. Denise Ryan, of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was born and raised in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Temple University's Tyler School of Fine Art. She earned her Master of Fine arts from Yale University. Presently, Denise is an instructor of Painting and Drawing for the Holiday Island Art Guild, and is also an occasional Elderhostel Instructor for the University of Arkansas. In her painting career, she has developed a reputation for fine portraiture, and is also known for her unusual still life/landscape compositions. In 2007, she received the Individual Artist Fellowship Award from the Arkansas Arts Council, and in 2006 won first place in the Eureka Springs Fall Art Show. Denise works primarily in oil and pastel. Stylistically, her paintings are representational. Although they appear to be highly illusionist, the unusual combination of subjective elements, magical settings, brilliant color, and pervasive light quality create a sense of the surreal or metaphysical. |
