Denisa states, “The need for creation became reinforced with the birth of my own child and the desire to heal, protect and empower. My goal is to bring my art forward to public spaces so that passersby can find peace, beauty and healing connection for a moment in time in their life’s journey. Some of my sculptures are created for Women’s Shelters and Auctions to support an orphanage in Africa.”

Denisa was born in the Czech Republic and at the age of 13 her family immigrated to Canada. She studied Fine Art and Sculpture at O.C.A.D University in Toronto and completed her post-graduate year in Florence, Italy, where she was inspired by the work of Michelangelo.

An extensive interview with Denisa was published on the Renee-Phillips.com website. When asked about her creative process Denisa replied, “I often let my inspirational visions guide me through the creativity of the final artwork. When that vision comes to me, I already see the finished sculpture in my mind. I loosely begin to sketch it in clay, allowing the creative spirit its freedom to manifest itself. The process of sculpting and being deeply present in the moment feels like bringing a dream to reality. I always remind myself that the learning process never ends and with each new sculpture, I strive to achieve the best version of my ideal vision.”

Denisa is currently an Associate Member of the distinguished National Sculpture Society and Allied Artists of America.
