Denise McPherson is an oil painter based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

Born and raised in South Carolina, Denise studied Communications in college in Nashville, Tennessee where she met her husband. After twelve years in Tennessee, she and her family relocated to the small town of Stuart’s Draft, Virginia in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

Forever in awe of nature, Denise loves painting the natural landscape and the beauty found therein. Inspired by the early impressionists, she often utilizes broken color, loose brushstrokes and painterly marks to capture the feeling and essence of a scene. Whether it’s big open skies, rolling hills and mountains, or a vast, endless sea, you’ll often find themes of solitude, peace and nostalgia in her work.

Her work can be found in private collections across the United States.
