Denise Stewart-Sanabria is an artist whose work is currently featured in the Renaissance Regional Art Exhibition on view through October 24th.
Denise was born in Massachusetts and received her BFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has lived in Knoxville since 1986. She has received over twenty awards during a five year period from both curators and directors from the Huntsville Museum of Art, the Knoxville Museum of Art, The Hunter Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery and most recently the Purchase Award from The Renaissance Center.
Here's a little information about Denise's piece Class of '37 currently on display...
This particular piece was part of a large project inspired by abandoned photo albums I got at a Elders Used Book Store in Nashville. This album was a do-it-yourself high school yearbook from 1937. I integrated the commentary and found objects that the owner had placed in the album into my portraits of the students. The high school as Vashon High School of St. Louis, MO. I was later able to trace what became of many of the students through the St. Louis Genealogical Soceity.
Denise's other work can be viewed at www.stewart-sanabria.com. Also, Denise will be exhibiting her life size plywood people in the East Wing, January 22nd, 2010 - March 6th! But if you can't wait till then come by and see her work before the Regional Exhibit closes!
