![]() ![]() | Denise Stewart-Sanabria was born in Massachusetts and received her BFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. She has lived in Knoxville since 1986. Sanabria paints both hyper-realist "portraits" of everything from produce to subversive jelly donuts, and full-scale, cut-out charcoal on plywood portraits of contemporary people that she uses to create conceptual installations. Recent exhibits include: William King Museum's "From These Hills: Contemporary Art in the Appalachian Highlands" in Abingdon, VA, "2008 Biennale: Contemporary American Realism", at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in Indiana, "Modern Girls: Contemporary Women in Tennessee Art" at the Clarksville Custom House Museum, Clarksville, TN, and "Continuare: The Figurative Tradition in Contemporary Art" at Ewing Gallery at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
