Saturday, January 4th, 2pm
in the boardroom in the
Acadiana Center for the Arts
101 W. Vermilion St.,
Lafayette, Louisiana
And will be presented by Denise Gallagher!
Denise Gallagher is an artist with a passion for illustration and design.
She has been recognized for both of these talents by such esteemed organizations as the American Advertising Federation, Print Magazine, Communication Arts Magazine, the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles and the Society of Illustrators New York.
Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York, Los Angeles and throughout Louisiana.
Denise lives in the little town of Youngsville, Louisiana surrounded by the things that she loves. She draws incessantly and loves to make beautiful things. Her images provide glimpses of a grand and sprawling story, a mysterious tale that is yet to be written. Recurring characters — including bears, wolves and young children — find themselves in curious situations or tied with bits of string. Seemingly random objects become deeply meaningful and infused with magic. Snippets of the tale, like bits of wisdom, accompany each piece and invite the viewer to wonder at the scene and imagine what might happen next.
Denise Gallagher’s work unfolds to reveal the charm of this dark and melancholy tale — meandering, mysterious and never mundane. Her style is a unique blend of whimsy and sophistication.
