Let Me Introduce Myself
I am a New Hampshire artist with a lifelong passion for creating and more than 30 years of experience working in a variety of mediums, including acrylic, watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil.
My work is centered largely around portraiture, with a special love for animals. I strive to capture more than a likeness—bringing out the personality, emotion, and individuality that make each subject unique.
When I’m not creating commissioned pieces, you’ll find me in my studio exploring new ideas and creating original artwork for upcoming exhibits and showings.
I invite you to explore my Portfolio and Current Works. If you are interested in an original piece or would like to discuss a commissioned portrait, please contact me at denise.backman@outlook.com.
Art should do more than capture a likeness—it should capture a presence.
