Nature Artist Denise Smith from Hamden, Ct. is a lifelong photographer, self-taught artist and workshop facilitator who has a deep connection with the woodlands of New England. Her 2D/3D one-of-a-kind artwork and crafts are mainly created from the bounty of foraged birch branches, pinecones, tree bark, leaves, and moss.
Recently Smith has been experimenting with printmaking using the Cyanotype process also known as Sun Prints. These unique prints are made by laying botanicals as leaves, ferns and flowers on treated watercolor paper and then exposed in sunlight. The result is a beautiful blue and white impression.
Denise is inspired to share her passion in workshops that give participants a unique opportunity to see the natural world from a different perspective, as art. She offers a variety of unique nature based crafting experiences in public libraries throughout Ct. See more of here work on her website.
