Denise Presnell
Presnell is a painter/mixed media artist currently living and working as a full-time artist in Sheboygan, WI. They grew up in south central Nebraska and earned a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, and they earned an MFA in Painting from the Pennsylvania State University. Graduate school was followed by 31 years of teaching art on the college/university level in Pennsylvania, Kansas, Louisiana and Wisconsin.
For most of those 31 years, Presnell’s imagery centered around the natural landscape – mostly focusing on the landscape in Wisconsin. Over the past few years, their work evolved from heavily abstracted – but still recognizable landscapes into full-blown nonobjective abstraction. Presnell embraces risk-taking and the truth of the unknown.
