biography
Giselle Denis was born and raised near Elk Island Park, Alberta, Canada and has painted since she was a little girl. Being surrounded by nature and encouraged at a young age to explore many creative avenues led her into a career as an artist. A Bachelor Degree in Theology, and a major in Music, her work tends to have a spiritual and musical movement that flows into her paintings. In 2005, Giselle made art her full-time career and has been busy creating ever since.
For several years, her work has been focused on meadows of flowers, which has become her signature work. She also has a wide range of abstract landscapes–with the bright, bold colors we see in her meadow paintings. Recently, her art has taken a new direction that represents her love for forests while incorporating a range of colorful flowers in the foreground.
Giselle has permanent installations in the Wildflower Grill and Rogers Wireless Head Office in Edmonton. She also annually shows her work at the Artwalk on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton. Currently, Giselle is working on an innovative collection for a gallery in Rosebud, Alberta where she will be in attendance for a solo exhibition. The show runs May 25 to August 31.
Giselle’s art and story have been featured in The Edmonton Journal, The Sun, Global TV, Breakfast Television, Help TV, Shaw TV, CJSR Radio, CKER Radio, See Magazine, Vue Magazine, Avenue Magazine, Western Living Magazine, Living Light News and Centered Magazine.
