About Me

Denise Doyle, M.A. ~ Transformative Artist ~ Mixed Media Artist ~ Teacher ~ Curator ~ Mask-making ~ Art Classes & Creative Process Exploration~~~ Welcome to my blog! I've created this page to share my journey of mask-making and body totem work, and my class offerings, as both a creator and teacher. I have the great privilege of facilitating, teaching and guiding women, men and children through the creative process of mask-making, mixed-media collage, and personal art curriculum. Every single participant is continually blown away by the results of their journeys and the personal discoveries they unearth along the way. The following blog is a continuous collection of photos, writings and inspiration. I am a teacher, mixed-media artist and photographer. I have a M.A. in Transformative Arts from John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA.

Risky Women: Wreaking Havoc!
A sassy, sexy, risky show of
female artists
who push the boundaries of being.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”  Hunter S. Thompson

So many of us are taught to play it safe, look and act a certain way, to maintain control, to strive to be something resembling “normal”. Life as a woman on this planet really isn’t that one-dimensional now, is it? And maybe for some of us, it never was. One of the definitions of Havoc is to destroy or devastate. Four female artists take a look at the inner and outer worlds of femininity, sexuality, spirituality...and create work that is, in some way, risky. We are walking the edge, acting impulsively or spontaneously, and sometimes flying entirely out of control. These four artists are wreaking havoc with our preconceived notions of normal, crossing over, confiding in our desires, inspiring confessions and creative outbursts, and showing us what it looks like to take risks & push the boundaries of being.
