Denise Garner - Author

CONvergence is pleased to welcome artist Denise Garner as a Guest of Honor at CONvergence 2004.

"My mother says that she could always tell when I was getting tired, out came the paper and pencils!" That was how it began, and now years later the beautiful watercolor paintings and drawings of Romantic Fantasy Artist Denise Garner are well known to midwestern Fantasy Convention attendees, capturing the attention of avid collectors. She has won numerous awards, including jurors choice at GenCon 2003.

Much of her artwork draws upon classical themes, and her studies of myth and fairy tale literature are evident in the narrative style she has developed over the years. "I eschewed formal training and started to make my own magic, finding a niche in the fantasy and science fiction art community, wherein I have continued to explore narrative painting and imaginative realism."

Denise has been attending SF/Fantasy conventions since 1989, and her parties and antics have become a regular fixture in the regional convention scene. Look for her to add some spark to CONvergence 2004. For more information on Denise and her work, visit her official site at http://towerwindow.com.
