Denise Lemaster
Denise is an artist living in Invermere BC. She studied fine art at the University of BC, University of Calgary and ACAD, and has several residencies in BC and Alberta to her credit. She has lived in many locations throughout western Canada and has exhibited in BC, Alberta and USA in both solo and group exhibitions. Primarily a landscape painter, her scenes reveal her deep love of the natural world. Denise finds interpreting the natural environment through paint a constant challenge. Of late, she has spent more time painting on location or “en plein air” as the method is known.
“Outdoors in the fresh air with my paints is always a good day!”
Lemaster has been painting full time now for over 20 years, and has had gallery representation of her work in Western Canada since 1999. She has exhibited in the United States with solo museum shows in both Omaha NB and Casper WY.
Lemaster breaks down the landscape she paints into basic elements – form, colour and composition. Bold in her simplicity yet complex in her subtle variations of design elements, she in particular brings focus to Western Canada’s countryside.
Through her work, Lemaster hopes to promote conversations concerning an appreciation of the landscape.
Her personal goal for her work is that you might have a momentary connection that is meaningful to you.
