Denise Nys, Australian Professional Visual Artist/Designer - working in various media including Photographic, Ink, Acrylic, Water-soluble oils, Pastels, and Mixed media. Denise enjoys working in a series format, building works as collections around a theme of interest.  Also creating contemporary styled works using Digital applications. A great deal of time is spent in research and photographic expeditions to gather original subject matter before returning to the studio to work. 

Presently retired from teaching Art and Music for 28 years to work solely on creative pursuits Denise now lives in the Big Sky, Darling Downs, outback Queensland area of Australia.

She loves living close to the natural environment and spending time each day creating new works of art. "In between caring for my animals and this small Permacultural Farmlet" she says.

Having spent some years living overseas in the Solomon Islands teaching English and Music she has had the opportunity to live a very full and adventurous lifestyle. Having had the experience of living in grass-roots situations and being able to fully experience the beautiful rainforests of the Solomon Islands.  Back in Australia, Denise is an avid photographer and enjoys using her Nikon DSLR. Frequently going on small expeditions to Aussie Rainforest/bush areas then return to the studio to create unique artworks based around the beautiful, wide, varied subject of Nature. 

Learning in various subjects over the years has enabled Denise to accumulate a wide variety of knowledge and experience which she enjoys sharing through her art. Denise believes strongly that one should continue learning no matter how old one is. She has completed various courses through several practicing Artist's workshops & completed a Diploma of Visual Arts-Fine Arts Stream through Toowoomba Tafe. 

Whatever Media she uses, the importance or emphasis for Denise is usually about creating a sense of "Flow". Mihaly Csikszentmihályi and others began researching "flow" after Csikszentmihályi became fascinated by artists who would be lost in the moment. It is an invaluable way to spend time creating.  This (mindfulness) has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to induce a "Flow State" and relax and enjoy the moment. 

Whether it be Abstracts, Nature and the Environs, Seascapes, Mazes, Organic or Geometric the subjects of interest are endless. Denise's style is one of layers and intricate work. This enables the "Flow" experience to reach the deepest possible levels as she works. It also ensures Denise utilizes her unique layered style which she has developed through some years of experience, trial and error. This Style of working incorporates the use of overlayed images and added fine line work to imply added layers of subject matter, frequently within layers of mixed media. 

"Being in the Moment-Tomorrow never arrives "  is how we can stay focused.
