Portraiture

My art enables me to find myself and lose myself at the same time.

Technique

I can say so much with color, shapes and lines

Art + Home

I have a diverse background in art, design and fashion.

Portraits & Hands

I am obsessed with drawing hands, they have so much to say.

My passion is to create art and share it with the world.

denise carletta

I’m making art as a means of living a life not as a means of making a living.

The Person Behind The brush

A figure artist with an editorial approach, based in Mill Valley, California.

I’m often asked when do you know a work of art is finished? My answer, “ when the colors sing, the shapes dance, the lights and darks articulate and the figure tells a story.
