Denise Liebermann is a contemporary figurative painter working predominantly in oils and often on a large scale.

Her paintings tell stories. Sometimes the narrative is deliberately ambiguous — a stolen moment from a drama already unfolding. At other times, the focus is the relationship between people and their dogs, exploring trust, loyalty, dependency and companionship.

Dogs frequently take centre stage, becoming the emotional anchor of the painting. Through gesture, expression and proximity, Denise explores the connections between us and the quiet, often unspoken relationships that shape our lives.

Her work combines immediate visual impact with a more introspective quality, inviting the viewer to look beyond the surface and create their own narrative.

Education

Denise returned to education as a mature student, beginning with an A level in Fine Art before progressing to the Art Foundation programme at Warwickshire College, Leamington Spa, where she gained a BTEC Diploma. Her practice has continued to develop through self-directed study, experimentation and more than a decade of painting full-time.

Exhibitions & Galleries

Denise exhibits regularly throughout the UK and internationally, with work shown at galleries, exhibitions and art fairs including Affordable Art Fair in London and New York. Her paintings are held in private collections in the UK and overseas.

She currently works with a number of galleries, including Carina Haslam Gallery and Fosse Gallery, and continues to exhibit independently through selected exhibitions and open calls.
