CONTACT INFORMATION: DeniseDiJoseph@aol.com
A lifetime foundation of art education including summa honors with a BFA in Studio Arts and a minor in Art History, Denise sold commissioned work in galleries, curated shows, and taught hundreds of students at her art school. She presented university art lectures, was awarded art grant funds for social change awareness, and participated in international and national traveling art exhibits. Denise developed and implemented empowerment art programs for at-risk women and girls residing in detention centers and shelters.
She received an Honorable Citation by the Philadelphia District Attorney as one of the volunteer portrait artists in “Lost Dreams on Canvas”--a national exhibit addressing anti- violence awareness. This project was organized and sponsored by the Veterans of War Association, the Museum of American Art, and The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
DiJoseph’s artwork was featured in a children’s museum, a New York feminist fashion show, the cover of an empowerment magazine, and an international Dixie-Paper Art of the Plate competition.
She is currently writing a children’s book based on the antics of working on her aunt & uncle’s dairy farm. The book features Denise’s animal oil portrait collection as the main characters. She is also developing two sculpture series. Transformation describes the geometric forms created by the movement of dancers. Transfiguration depicts enlightenment through spiritual and personal growth.
Denise enjoys sharing her knowledge to help others grow as artists. She is grateful to be a life-long dedicated representative in the art community.
