Denise Cross is a visual artist undertaking her MVA, working primarily in acrylic painting and drawing media. She acquires elements from symbolism and realism, taking her work through a process of stylisation throughout her folio of still-life, portrait and landscape paintings. The central driving force to Denise’s artwork is to bring to light hidden stories as well as bringing to life what others may perceive as ordinary, providing a platform to see inward beauty rise to the surface. She is also deeply motivated in providing opportunities to bring hope, appreciation, healing, or to challenge preconceived ideas or notions. Denise Cross has been a finalist in a series of reputable art competitions, such as Brisbane Portrait Awards and Redlands Art Awards, regularly contributing works to solo and group exhibitions, within Queensland and Bangkok. She has been a secondary art teacher for 25 years, completing a BFA and M.Ed.
