I find it difficult to write this bio in the third party. The correct way I am sure will come later. Therefore I will write The "About Us" as if I were writing to you, all the lovers and dreamers, personally which I am, in a way.
Airbrush Art By Denise became a reality for me in 1991.
It was my dream come true.
I remember wanting to be an artist at a very early age. I began sketching portraiture and "realistic" art at the age of eleven. I attended art classes in Junior High and High School with my Junior year having 4 hours of art classes per day. I was Vice President of DEKA Commercial Art 76'-77'. I attended Grand Prairie's two rival high schools, South Grand Prairie and Grand Prairie High to be able to take the Commercial Art classes It was difficult being a Warrior in Gopherland.
I was 16, my senior year, I began working as a pastel portrait artist for The Balloon Man Ent., a company within the Six Flags Over Texas Theme Park in Arlington, Tx.
I saw the first airbrush being used in an adverstising agency on a school outing in Commercial Art Class. I fell in love. I bought my first airbrush, a Paasche VL which I still use and Radu Vera's Airbrush: the Complete Studio Handbook in 1984. I played with it... I read it. It didn't do what I wanted it to so I gave it a break.
I began working as a floral designer in 1985. My mother gave me the chance to "express myself" in our family florist we opened in 1987.
It was during one of my buying trips to San Lorenzo's Of Dallas when I found Deka Fabric Paint being stocked and I bought every color they had. I bought two sweat shirts for my 2 children Aubrey and Damian and spent 4 hours each painting them. I was surprised at what I could do.
I felt like I didn't have the knowledge or experience to be airbrushing anything especially vehicles. I found a continuing education airbrush class at Mountainview. It was our third project of the course, which was anything we choose to do that I airbrushed a portrait of my son. Leroy Roper, the instructor. told me I didn't need to be in class... I needed to be working as an airbrush artist.... I didn't believe him.
It was in 1991 that I sold my first airbrushed artwork. I airbrushed out of our florist shop. We did a big business with the schools in the area. I began airbrushing school and team designs along with custom and standard novelty designs.
In 1991 I began working at H.L. Green's in downtown Dallas for Mark Mathis. A wonderful airbrush artist who had the booth in Dallas and one in Traders Village which I also helped him with. I learned alot from him and I owe it to him for tricking me into working alone as an airbrush artist in public.
While I was airbrushing in Dallas I heard about Airbrush Action and eventually had to go to the Dallas Public Library to get the address to buy a subscription. I had finally found the airbrushing world. It was full of airbrush artists and supply companies. I was in airbrush heaven.
It was in 1995 that I hit it big with the sports and youth football teams. and the high schools kids went crazy over the North/South designs I was airbrushing.
At the same time I began painting vehicles. It was my third mural on a truck hood that I won many "Best Mural" awards for including Von Otto's Best Mural award. My second hood mural also won many. Both of these became part of feature articles in Chevy Truckin', Lowrider and Lowrider Euro Magazines. I have had many of the vehicles I have airbrushed in Lowrider Magazine.
I worked for Sherwin Williams Automotive Fleet Division as a color matcher and formulator in their color lab and learned a great deal about automotive coatings and about color which enhanced the knowledge I had already gained through my experience with airbrushing.
I have had my family as my inspiration. To lose them or their love and respect would truly prove to be devastating in the extreme. I have experience with many art mediums,many art forms. Airbrushing will always be the medium of choice.
Airbrushing is and will always remain the one true love of my life.
Many Thanks To Everyone!

Personal Note to the Reader
I have included in my website artworks from my past that you will find in the Ancient History Gallery. The Gallery includes my first airbrush painting, sketches from my teen years that I still have and show when I speak to the aspiring artists from the schools in the Grand Prairie area.
It is my hope it will also be inspiring for whoever reads my about Me page and views my Ancient Art.
I sincerely wish those new to airbrushing the best in their endeavor. I also hope everybody gets a good laugh out of my website and it's contrasting page transitions. I've had a blast making it after shedding many tears and banging my head against the monitor for a... very very very very very long time trying to learn web design and HTML. I wonder how it will evolve....
My Inner Hero - Paladin!
I strive to help others, and to bring truth and harmony to the world however I can. Whether times are good or bad, you can always count on me. I'm a shoulder to cry on, a champion for the helpless, and an all around nice person.
How about you? Click here to find your own inner hero.
