Artist statement – Clara Dennison
Many of my images are inspired by places I have visited and are personally significant.
Many of these places are meaningful not only for their obvious beauty but also for the
hidden beauty and the natural phenomenon’s
that transpire for a particular place to exist.
I am amazed by the constant changes that need to take place in order for something to
live. The four essential elements, Earth, air, fire and water are key to the survival of
every living thing. My monotypes and paintings are re-examinations of these places.
I build texture and form through the use of transparent glazes,
Oil-based inks, Chine
Colle, collographs and color pencil.

Interpretation of the Scenic Beauty of the Blackstone River Valley and Purgatory Chasm
State Reservation.” She has also exhibited at the SUNY Art Museum in Plattsburgh
New York and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle Washington. She is presently teaching
