Welcome to the San Pedro River Arts Council

Denise Eggman has worked as a freelance graphic designer since 1987.  Her clients include advertising agencies, hospitals, major corporations as well as numerous small businesses.  She has recently been quite involved in medical illustration.  Denise has been working towards making her fine art the focus of her work, and is getting closer to achieving that goal with each passing day.

After relocating to southeast Arizona from Minnesota to pursue her art, she coincidentally met and married a man named Art.  Together, they share a love of the outdoors and enjoy a lifestyle reflected in much of her work.

Denise is inspired by nature and the challenge of capturing a moment.  She follows no set rules when creating.  Many of her inspirations are found on excursions into the surrounding desert and mountains.  She finds great joy in photography, painting with pastels, pencil drawing and simply creating “something…anything” out of her imagination.  Denise signs her artwork “Denni” which is the artist pen name she envisioned as a child.  She owns a small gallery in Sunsites called the ArtDen, located at Margie’s Corner Café.

Author’s note: Denise won “Best of Show” at our 2010 “Celebrate the Arts” festival with her entry “Midday Sun at Camp Rucker.”
