Denise Ballard-Wyllie

As an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Painter - Printmakers I regularly exhibit at the Bankside Gallery, next door to Tate Modern by the Thames. I frequently exhibit internationally as I enjoy communicating with the rest of the art world.

Here at Saatchi Art, I hope to bring accessible art to early collectors.

You can see that my paintings capture light and nature’s energy with lively brush marks. Printmaking frees me to explore expressive moods with colour.

In the past my work was deep, dark and mysterious now I also express joy with handmade prints.
I am showing with Saatchi floral landscapes inspired by English and Oriental gardens, portraits of Cuthbert and men cells under a micro-scope like they have not been seen before.

I have many degrees in art from the University of The Arts London - at Kingston School of Art, then 3 postgraduate specialist printmaking Diplomas from Central Saint Martins, University of Brighton and Wimbledon School of Art ( Masters degree). Also I been a Research Assistant at The Slade School of Art, UCL with Prof Barto dos Santos and Stanley Jones CBE. I still am learning new ways of creating, thinking and collaborating. I love that!
