Denny Champlin - Artist Biography

Denny is a contemporary southwestern artist who creates bold images of native New Mexican wildlife and desert compositions in acrylic.

Although his work brushes up against abstraction, the bright colors and simple strokes he uses combine to create not only an image of the subject, but a vivid and simple representation as well. His work evokes the allure of the great Southwest while adhering to it's varied cultural nuances.

The drama of Denny's work is drawn from the timeless landscapes, brilliant skies, native culture, and mystique of New Mexico. Each painting reflects the unique colors, moods and energy of the New Mexico palette.

Originally from northwest Iowa, Denny began exploring art while in his teens. He furthered his formal study of drawing and painting at the University of South Dakota where he majored in both Advertising and Fine Art. Through the encouragement of his instructors and success in regional exhibitions, Denny began showing and selling his work at midwestern venues in 1972. He has lived and worked in Santa Fe since 2002.
