Denise Neel
Artist Spotlight
April 2023
Denise loves creating beauty! Her canvases have ranged from designing “outdoor rooms” for clients of large residential neighborhoods to the pages of children’s books; from baby quilts to large murals that adorn living room walls; from stained glass tables, to painting prophetically in gatherings of all sizes. Couple that with a passion for people, and a desire to see people walk in what they have been created for, is a mix for innovation. Identifying people’s strengths and tapping into that resource is a natural progression of learning. She has been a conference speaker, taught homeschooling K-12 Art classes, and run Art clubs/camps. Her desire is to seek the face of the Creator, make space for Him to move, as well as create an outlet for others to grow in their gift. But life wasn’t always like this.
Fifteen years ago, she walked through a dark night of the soul, where her Savior beckoned her to walk through the caverns of her heart and heal parts so she could tangibly experience more of who He was and who He called her to be. He encouraged her to encounter Him through a media that she was unfamiliar with – painting. She had to learn to trust, hear, and listen to his voice in order to walk in this strange new realm He was calling her. It was through this valley, that Denise sat at the table He had prepared and dined. It was here where He healed and released many blessings into her life.
“I have realized through the years that the greatest gift I can give the world is the most authentic version of myself and the dreams the Creator has placed inside of me. So often people are looking for something beyond themselves. When we walk out this freedom in our own lives, it releases others to do the same! The invitation is always there,” – Denise Neel
