Denise Hopkins is an artist from Mandeville, LA, a city that is part of the Greater New Orleans area.  She received  an M.A. from Louisiana State University in English, and a B.A. from Spring Hill College in Studio Art and English. Denise’s art is unique in the way it blends the mediums of literature and visual representation, as well as the ways in which she uses found objects to create texture: her style is an abstract style grounded in words and objects. Some of Denise’s influences include Jackson Pollock, Walker Percy, Flannery O’Connor, and the city of New Orleans. Her vivid and often stark use of color, her blurring of lines, including the lines between literature and the visual arts, and the unassuming, yet moving nature of many of her pieces make her art both unique and charming.
