About Denise: Since my youth, I have pursued a career in art and later in the restoration of paintings. My studies in one of Florence Italy's finest Art Institutes, the Palazzo Spinelli, gave me a leading edge in my knowledge and skills through the restoration of Renaissance paintings and frescos. Prior to my studies in Italy, I was employed in the area of conservation with the Glenbow Museum. I apprenticed with a restoration expert and later developed my own business in Calgary, Alberta. My educational background, includes studies at the Alberta College of Art and the University of Calgary. Overall, I have gained over 20 years of experience in the restoration field. Since relocating to Vancouver, I have worked on various projects with fellow conservators, the Vancouver Museum and with the Vancouver Art Gallery. I belong to several organizations including The Pacific Conservation Group, The Canadian Association for Conservation and The Dundarave Business Association.
Established in 1897, The Art Emporium, Vancouver, is the oldest art gallery in Canada west of Toronto. The original location was on the corner of Georgia and Homby Street, kitty-corner to the old courthouse - the current home of the Vancouver Art Gallery. In its early years, The Art emporium was a popular focus for the young city's art community, functioning as a gathering place for artists to converse, exchange ideas, buy supplies and frames, and exhibit their paintings. Through the years, the gallery was frequented by such notables as the C.P.R. Painters, members of the Group of Seven and local artists like Thomas Fripp, Emily Carr and Jack Shadbolt. Historically, it has been an integral part of Vancouver's art scene for the past century.
