Denise Hamilton

Denise’s love for art began as a teenager taking oil painting lessons during summers from Margaret Hand, who lived in Gadsden. She majored in accounting at Auburn and had a career in heath care financial management at UAB Hospital. During those years she enjoyed various craft projects, but didn’t pick up a paint brush until she retired in 2008. Neighbor Carolyn Crowe encouraged her to join her in taking lessons from Sharon Wolfe, and Denise’s love for painting came back. Currently, she takes lessons from Ron Lewis. Her favorite subjects are beach and snow scenes and children in a realistic style in oil.
