198 - Denise Kanir - "Sawgrass"

Dimensions:  Unframed 24" X 28 1/2"

Medium: Oil charcoal on canvas

Sawgrass evokes memories of time spent along the Carolina coast experiencing the beauty of the marshland at twilight. 

I have been creating in some fashion for as long as I can remember.  Using a variety of media, even within a single piece, allows me to portray the multitude of sensory triggers that pull our past experiences into the present.  My work reflects a deep love of family and the places that reside in my memories.

Denise Kanir is a mixed media artist and art teacher living in Greensboro, NC.  She is originally from Ohio, and holds degrees from The Ohio State University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  Her work has been exhibited at The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC; The Gatewood Gallery and The Walter Clinton Jackson Library, The Unversity of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC; The Ohio State University James Cancer Center and Studios on High Gallery, Columbus, Ohio.
