"Woman Standing" is an original acrylic painting by Denise Souza Finney. This piece has finished paint sides and is ready to hang. The painting is an exposition on women. Denise has been drawing the female figure for over twenty years, specifically the same group of women during that time. A series of paintings has developed from all those sketches grouping certain poses together, including standing poses. The paintings are not just sketches of women standing, they are much more than that. Women posed nude for each other in a collective experience that tells many stories about their lives and shared experiences. Denise sees these paintings as an exposition of what it is to be a woman from the point of view of a woman, told by various different women. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to hang: Yes. Signature location: signed on the back.

Presentation
Artist Statement:
I have a very strong memory as a child of taking pieces of paper out of my mother's garbage can under her large oak desk that she would pay the family bills at. I would copy the lines of letters that formed on the scraps of torn up paper. I couldn't read at the time. I don't know what I was trying to do, but I was captivated by the process of writing that line of uniform symbols marching across the paper. It seemed very important work. I didn't have much to say until way past the age of three, which was concerning for my mother. I remember her bargaining with me to speak the words of my favorite cereal before allowing me to enjoy that much desired bowl. I stubbornly refused to comply. Was I not capable of forming the words? or simply not ready to use this form of communication that was not natural to me.
Making things comes naturally to me, I paint and draw to make images that speak to me. I design using letters as texture and as a way to form words that scramble through my head. Often these words or typography designs are buried under layers of paint, as a way to start a painting. I find poetry and writing to be envious occupations but I am neither a poet or a writer, but I was a dancer. I know the body and it’s expression through movement. My work focuses on the things that I know. I paint and draw the figure and how it relates or interprets the thoughts that run through my head that are hard to convey with words. I use layers of texture and color to try and describe the layers of emotions and observations that I experience in this world but find difficult to formulate sentences to express. Creating art is my preferred form of speech.

Professional/Teaching Experience:

Artistic Influences:
I identify most with the San Francisco Figurative Movement or Bay Area Figurative Movement. I attended a lecture by Nathan Oliveira at the local university in Ashland in my late 20's that I found very inspirational. This movement was highly influenced by abstract expressionism which was the dominant painting style at the time coupled with a desire to return to the more traditional subject genre of the figure. Manuel Neri, an artist that developed during what is considered the second generation from that movement, is a painter who's work I most identify with. He is mostly known as a sculptor, but I am greatly captivated by the emotional expression that his monumental figurative sculptures portray and particularly appreciate the paint sketches he created leading up to those sculptures.
