1 KATHLEEN DENIS Embracing an Unexpected Turning Point Florida oil painter Kathleen Denis uses vibrant color to create exceedingly pleasant paintings. So why is she now painting twisted metal and destruction? By Bob Bahr B y her own reckoning, Kathleen Denis traditionally paints art that is sweet or she did, until a recent experience made challenging subjects impossible to ignore. Her paintings of beach scenes, intimate Florida still lifes, and charismatic wildlife are so appealing that she was for a time one of the most successful licensed artists in the United States, with her designs featured on everything from wallpaper to rugs, in stores such as Bed, Bath & Beyond. For 15 years she plied the trade shows, traveling regularly and keeping a staff of Kathleen Denis ARTIST DATA NAME: Kathleen Denis BIRTH YEAR: 1957 LOCATION: Tavernier, FL INFLUENCES: Edward Hopper, Joaquín Sorolla, Connie Hayes.

The result was these five paintings from I was going into jails and using the message of the paintings to bring hope and restoration to these girls lives. That s it; in one word, the message was hope. I wrote Bible studies that went along with different elements of my paintings. At the end of my visit, some of the women would share. One said, I have seen that I can have hope regardless of my past. That s what I want to do bring hope in hopeless situations. About five years after those paintings, I finally decided to pick up my brush again. However, I said I was going to paint the way I wanted and not on the demand of these corporations. If they like it, they can take it, but I am going to enjoy painting. At the start of the new decade, Denis began exploring plein air events. Her first was the Forgotten Coast En Plein Air Invitational on the Florida Panhandle, and she enjoyed it enough to apply for the Wekiva Paint Out, held north of Orlando. From there I participated in other juried competitions, Denis recalls. And then that frustration returned, and I was feeling that drive feeling competitive again, and feeling the stress that often accompanies it. I had to stop myself, and say, This is not why I am painting. I Cozy Spot Part of the Taking Time Out series / December 2017-January

Denis again reset herself and began painting what appealed to her. In the very beginning of my career, I was painting for myself, but the businesses started art-directing me. Color palette, subject matter it was all driven by the desires of the corporations that were manufacturing the products on which my art appeared. It was how we made a living. I got completely burned out. Then I went to plein air, but at that point, I was drawn to painting chairs, flowers, and houses. Painting a broad landscape was sort of new for me. A lot of people said my art was sweet. Well, I like sweet things, sweet Shredded But Not Destroyed 34
4 Before the Storm It was a horrific experience, she says. We came back when it was dark. The next morning we took a drive and saw a neighbor s house with the exterior completely destroyed. It was all twisted metal, with the awning torn off. Later, I went down to the lower Keys. It s not in the press too much anymore, but these people are still very much in need. My jaw just dropped. I saw where a tree went right through a trailer. Suddenly, painting charming scenes such as two empty and inviting Adirondack chairs in the sun gave way to depictions of destruction in Denis s work. She says she felt compelled to do something, and as a painter, one thing she knows she can do is paint. Denis began a series of paintings of the aftermath of Irma, auctioning them off on her own through Facebook, with 100 percent of the proceedings going to the victims of the hurricane. Art can bring so much joy to people, whether you are painting it or buying it, she says. Seeing someone tear up when they look at one of my pieces gives me so much joy. But I have been led by my heart to do this kind of painting. I like to paint sweet things. But I am loving doing this. It gives so much more meaning and purpose to the art. Denis is acting as both a maker and a conduit, creating something, and giving others a way to help specific individuals affected by Hurricane Irma. In her Facebook posts announcing a painting s auction, Denis tells the story of the foods, and sweet people. I like pretty things. So at campgrounds, and had a little fishing boat. I painting, and of the person or entity it involves. I fought against that at first. I thought that I was said when I grew up I want to live in the Keys.
