Denny Griffith artist talk response

Denny described his work as coming to a head in the last year to create his encaustic on panel work. He describes his work in a way that makes it seem to have a life of its own, that it wants things, it grows. All his works are so vibrant even though much of the work is pastel, and so happy, even though he was very sick. All his words he used to describe his artwork are so positive and light, he asserts that he didn't want these to be about dying, that they are about living. All these works are about fun, and happiness, and life and to me that is very telling about Denny and his personality.
