DENISE CERRO STATEMENT & BIO

STATEMENT

It's been suggested that...I'm a bit of a paper hoarder!

 

I wake up most mornings and head off to my studio with papers in one hand, paint in the other and something in my mind I can't wait to get onto a canvas...the days adventure starts from there. Often using cast off papers and substrates as my favorite mediums to work with, I'm always surprised at what people toss away.  I feel like I'm saving valuable resources while creating something of beauty with them in the process.

 

There are so many wonderful avenues to take in art...I love the exploration!  Whether I'm standing in front of my easel or a classroom full of students, it's what keeps me excited about this expressive journey...it's ever changing, aways adventurous and completely delightful.
