Denise Gonyea Durak

The artist grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and now calls the Greater Chicago Area home. Together with her husband of many years, the artist raised two children who now live in the area with their own families. Growing up, her father's work as a design engineer exposed her to the arts at an early age. This ignited her love for Abstract Expressionism and ultimately led her to pursue a degree in Fine Arts. The artist's practical side was developed through her mother's career in accounting, and this combination of the practical and aesthetic is displayed in her work.

The artist's portfolio consists of both photography and abstract paintings in acrylic and mixed media. She has also been blessed to receive mentorship from two experienced and renowned painters. Nature is the artist's main source of inspiration, particularly botanicals, and these elements are evident in her Abstract Expressionist style. Most of the original pieces of her art are kept in her home or the homes of family and friends, so she sells limited edition prints of her work in various sizes and on museum quality archival paper or canvas.

The artist has representation in several juried virtual national and international art galleries, and has sold her art at local art fairs. Now, she invites others to bring her painterly style into their home and office with prints of her work. By purchasing her prints, she hopes to bring joy and beauty to the lives of her customers.
