Denise Choppin creates works of art to invoke the power and beauty she finds in the natural world. Rather than attempt to recreate faithful representations of the objects or scenes that inspire her, she seeks to evoke their essential emotional content. Recent works explore the dynamic tension between representation and abstraction to capture this evocative essence.
She attempts to illustrate the notion of vastness – even in a square foot or two – and to capture the experience of land, water, space, time and light. Her most recent work, Denise creates floral images in the simplest form.
Denise Choppin holds an MFA from FSU and lives in Tallahassee where she also runs a graphic design business serving education, business, government and association clients.

The twelve by twelve collection is a series of square pieces that can be displayed in any number or color configuration. The series begins with gold or copper leafing, followed by layers of transparent pigments that allow the leafing to shimmer through the paint and create an effect of depth. In the landscapes, opaque paints create a contrast to the glow of the metals and the aged metal surfaces. By moving in front of the pieces and shifting the viewing angle, the viewer can change the light and the shadow that fall over the landscape. Similarly, the changing light in the course of the day alters the luminosity of the pieces.
The collection has grown substantially to include eighteen, twenty-four, thirty and thirty-six square pieces. Giving the collector a larger variety of options.
