DENIse Vosburgh's Artist’s Statement

Fantasies intertwining realism and dream are the objective of her art, creating images in a string of connections that make sense or open up questions. These images can lead to healing, inventions, and even insight into the future, where the conscious enters the viewers' unconscious and then, hopefully, eventually, the collective. It is as if her contemporary artistic process encourages the canvas to speak and the form of the symbol need not be well-defined and in fact may take several passes before it emerges enough to find its voice or reach the audience. 

It can be said that both Van Gogh, with the neutrino (***), and Pollock, with splatter-meets-paint-by-number were, “acted upon” by inner forces, as were many in the movements of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. DRV is seeking to define her position as a translator of realism to deep unconscious portraiture, landscapes, and journalism within which the viewer plays a part in the choreography of seeing something new.

DENI 

Denise Rodgers Vosburgh  (Deni) discovered art in early childhood and continues to pursue exploration and affect in the world, visually. She attended San Francisco Art Institute in the 1970’s,  after studying Psychology at Colorado College, when it was 200 years old, and invented her own version of art therapy. At San Francisco Art Institute she discovered more about Carl Jung and was introduced, from the school library, Marie Louise VonFranz and Fairy Tales from the Collective Unconscious.

In 1973 the author painted “My Reflection in a Snow Covered Hill” (see above left), which honestly foretold events, people, relationships, and surprises for several years to come. It choreographed colliding past and future “characters” interfacing with each other almost in an animated fashion. (Honors to Fleetwood Mac)

At present she ranges from pure realism to fantasy to painting from the collective unconscious, as her starting points.  She has shown in New York, San Francisco, Denver, Washington D.C. and Cern, Switzerland. She has sung in Paris, France and Newport, RI, USA.

Philosophy

Deni says that meditation is even more akin to Behavioral psychology than it is to Buddhism. While  reading in her 200-year-old dormitory room at Colorado College, dreaming of inventing Art Therapy in 1971, she would catch herself in a habitual behavior. B. F. Skinner was studied at CC. She remembers a precise moment, while at that tiny desk,  that she realized exactly how  all her preferences, lifestyle,

 and friends, were based on a path of least resistance, which is purely mechanical. It is obvious that most every human being is shaped by their environment and life events, and that free will is a goal, merely a possibility! At San Francisco Art Institute she discovered, beyond her earlier ongoing interest in Carl Jung, Marie Louise VonFranz and studies of Mythology from the Collective Unconscious.
