These paintings are ‘Beyond Description’

“Eclectic” is how painter Jane Renau Denison of Sedalia describes her work.

She will exhibit a collection of 36 pieces, titled “Beyond Description,” from June 6 to July 10 at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock, with a reception from 12 to 4:30 p.m. on June 12.

“Some are new and some are earlier,” she said.

Each will have an explanatory statement next to it because she is also a writer. All but two are for sale.

A glance at Denison’s website (janedenison.com) finds her artist’s statement, which says: “The most interesting aspect of being a visual artist is to be able to see your work evolve by degrees as you increasingly develop through deeper study, more experience and better skills. Then the creative imagination can be released to follow its own path.... Now I let colors, shapes textures, form and space create their own world. It is awesome to watch the creative process develop to where it is not OF something or ABOUT something but where the painting itself IS something. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?”

Originally from Kentucky, Denison has a collegiate fine arts degree followed by many hours of study with various artists over the years, including the late Dale Chisman at the Denver Art Students League, where she has also worked on sculpture with Peter Durst and Barry Rose.

She divides work illustrated on her website into Abstract Expressionism, Three Dimensional Abstract and Textured Sculpture Paintings.

Music is important and she speaks of her good fortune in having the gift of Synesthesia, which lets her see music in colors so she actually “paints music,” versus painting to music.

She is a member of the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, Colorado Watercolor Society and other national and international groups. Her work is represented at the Great Western Art Gallery in the Denver Theater District (owned by Hilliard Moore of Highlands Ranch).
