Giselle Denis Artist Profile

I am the performance painter at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Canada and the Raffles Hotel in Dubai. I have been part of the art scene for more than 20 years. I paint nature in bright bold colours, with a warmth and joy that you can't help but feel happy when you look at it. I connect to people in a unique way through my live painting experience. Art has always had a way of breaking down barriers. Time and again it has provided a place where strangers can find common ground and open the door to communicate with one another. I paint Hope. My message is Hope. My story is Hope and my vision is all about Hope. To watch my Biography video click here. Click here to watch a candid Q & A video done in my studio. 

I am the artist in residence in Dubai at the Raffles Hotel Dubai! For a recap video of my last adventure painting in Dubai, click here. 

I have a goal to raise $1 million for charity. My live painting for charities has raised over $615,000. One of my paintings sold for $50,000 for Little Warriors. I donate 100% of the money raised through my paintings. 

 

One of my canvases was a $100,000 Lexus Luxury car for the Vignettes Design Show. I painted a piano as an art installation piece for the YESS Organization Urban Roots Garden in Edmonton, Alberta. I also have a 40x26 foot mural installation in Edmonton of a larger than life forest with flowers. 

 

I’ve collaborated with wonderful businesses like Poppy Barley Shoes, Jacek Chocolate and Fabloomosity Floral Company.

I couldn't be happier doing what I love and sharing it with the world. Thank you for reading and for showing interest in my journey.
