Biography from The Adobe Fine Art:
| Relocated from Texas to New Mexico, in 1976, it was here in the Land of Enchantment that Denise Imke finally found both the opportunity and the inspiration to pursue her lifelong interest in art. Exploring many and varied mediums, such as watercolor, pastel, pen & ink, and silver smith, Denise has always and inevitably returned to her first love – that of oil painting.
While working in several different genres, from detailed portraiture to impressionistic landscapes, the classical still-life remains her favorite. However,
Denise has often and taken her easel out on location to discover the joy and challenges of painting the beautiful and ever-changing landscapes of New Mexico.
After completing her early art training at both New Mexico Junior College, and Eastern New Mexico University, Denise Imke went on to study with such accomplished and well-known artists as: Qiang Haung, Ben Konis, Lois Easley, Vickie Clark, Tom Darrah, and Ann Mann. In 2003, Denise received a merit scholarship to the prestigious Scottsdale Artists’ School, in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she studied with nationally acclaimed artist, Sherrie McGraw. And, it was while at the Scottsdale Artists’ School that one of Denise’s paintings, entitled Copper Pot was juried and accepted to appear on exhibit in its annual “Best and Brightest” show. In 2010 Denise became an associate member of Oil Painters of America.
