Episode 072 - Finding Your Sparkle with Disney Fine Art Artist, Denyse Klette
Episode 72 - March 8, 2021
Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast, I’m chatting with Artist, Denyse Klette. Denyse’s earliest memory of creating was when she was four and she spent hours copying the drawings out of her sister's 'How To Draw' book, which serendipitously was written by a Disney artist. By the age of 8 she informed her parents that she wanted to quit school to become a full time artist. When that was discouraged, by Grade 5 she was selling her line drawings to buy treats and by the age of 16 she had her first cartoon strip published in two local newspapers. 45 years later she has still never wavered in this career choice. With a background in murals, children’s portraits and eventually co-creating the Belly Button Buddies series, she very quickly became known as the artist who could capture joy in children. Through the diagnosis of her mom’s cancer and an unfortunate thumb accident, Denyse was reminded of the fragility of life and took a break from painting during this time. On her return, with a fresh perspective she created two heartfelt collections to capture life’s simple and beautiful moments. Continuing to work hard, putting herself out there and showing up even when it was hard, in 2019 her magical dream came true, when she was signed as the very first Canadian to be a Disney Fine Art artist with Collectors Edition. Tune in to hear her inspiring story of perseverance, finding your sparkle and what creating as a Disney Fine Art Artist looks like.
