Denesa's work keeps drawing me in, and it hasn’t stopped. My imagination just goes and goes and goes on what I’m seeing. It keeps creating different layers of questions, considerations. The light is continually alive. And those are to me, some of the hallmarks of real art. You live with it, and it keeps living with you. It keeps growing and changing with you.

Not many artists can transport you to deep, emotional places.
