Catalogue Note
The dramatic landscapes of the Isle of Doagh on Inishowen have provided the vibrant subject matter for Denaro's work for many years. An affinity with that landscape as well as with the people and animals which populate it - a cow in the case of the present work - have imbued her work with added significance. Inspired by Turner, Constable and Nathaniel Hone, her fluid and expressive style expertly captures her atmospheric surroundings whilst her titles offer an intimate insight into her thoughts behind each work.
