DENIS MILHOMME Artist
Early childhood was spent in Massachusetts where
he began his courtship with nature, enjoying the wooded landscape and nearby lake, it was natural to fall prey to the charm
of the wilds.
After moving to California the call of nature landscapes intrigued his imagination to see if he could
portray the beauty that he saw in the mountains and desert to others. Denis employs his paint brush to bring to the
viewer of his work that look of reality and vivid coloration that he so enjoys in his visits to the deserts of California
and Arizona.

taking refuge in the sanctuary of a serene setting.

Denis
enjoys painting, and after a day of some other activity he is anxious to return to his easel. He is honored when his
paintings are so well like that some one wants to place one in their residence, to allow one of his creations to become a
focal point in their life.
