Denise Driscoll

Denise Driscoll works from the premise that all living things are connected in an intricate mesh of being, yet each occupies the center of their own world. These simultaneous centers of lived experience swirl within and around us, piercing, enveloping, and permeating with or without our notice. Holding questions about symbiosis, coexistence, and sentience while working, Driscoll grasps at the awareness that we live in a clash of porous and conflicting worlds. In her recent Kinship series, highly saturated complementary colors create dynamic, mesmerizing spaces without a focal point. Each painting becomes an imaginary map of exchange: a playful, hopeful vision of our interconnected lives.

Driscoll was included in the inaugural AREA CODE Art Fair in 2020. Her work has been reviewed in Artscope magazine and featured in The Boston Globe. Driscoll is a SOLO2017 winner at Bromfield Gallery with “Geometries of Inner Space” and a Curatorial Opportunity Grant winner with “Material Meditation” at the New Art Center in Newton in 2008. Her paintings and collaborative projects have been shown throughout New England. Driscoll holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Lesley Art + Design (2007) where she currently teaches. She lives and works from her studio in Lowell.
