Denise Ford studied Textile Design at Central St. Martins followed by a career in International Textile Forecasting & Colour Consultancy based in London.
Now painting full time Denise's painting & printmaking explore the contrast's of oblique light & shadow, capturing shapes & reflections at the moment of appearance.
A depiction of the familiar elevated by an almost abstract use of tone, the paintings use a rich colour palette and balance of scale.
Her open compositions whether figurative, still life or landscape are organic and representational
Denise attended Camden Arts Centre for painting tuition and City Lit for photo etching & silk screen printing.
