Dennis' work history was consulting to large Fortune 500 level and Government clients how to best manage their Information Technology assets and its full life-cycle within the organization. From hardware, software, contracts, financials and every aspect of acquiring, managing and disposing in compliance with regulations. This required either 80% + travel or many relocations to the client's head quarter locations. Subsequently he has lived in two countries, 6 states, and 14 homes over the past 20 or so years. After his son was born, April 2009, he decided to follow his passion and become a full time artist while providing the at home care for his son.
His work has been described predominantly as contemporary post-impressionist often with symbolism. Colorful and lively, his work layers translucent and opaque colors and styles intermix. Many are drawn into his paintings by the rich texture due to his painting process of applying the paint directly with his fingers. The paint is like an extension of himself allowing him to drift into his "art moments" (see Statement). He lets go allowing the moment to happen and trusts the end result will benefit from this creative freedom. He does not use other painting instruments because he wants to feel the highest level of connection and energy flow with the paint and the final painting. His works can incorporate a bit of expressionism, impressionism, recycled materials such as shopping bags, found objects and tumbled crystal stones. Often he listens to music while painting that supports his intended mood, light, rhythm and energy levels.
Many works are considered Energy Art wherein he incorporates crystals or minerals for their metaphysical properties. The Energy Art is meditative/affecting/spiritual art geared toward the higher conscience clients looking for great art that supports their lifestyle, health, vitality, goals, environmental concerns and social justice.
