Denise’s interest in working with reclaimed and recycled materials began while going to art school in the late 80’s and early 90’s. For many years she had made her own hand bound sketchbooks from off cuts of printmaker’s paper and discarded leather from a furniture factory. This was the beginning of the path that would later lead to her producing the line of handbags, belts and accessories that she is now known for. Her leather work is available through select boutiques in British Columbia as well as through her own studio in East Vancouver.
The Bronsino line pays homage to the 16th century Florentine artist Agnolo Bronzino and her husband’s family home on Bronsino Street in Lima, Peru.
