Artist Spotlight: Viki Denaburg

A makeup artist and painter, Viki Denaburg has always followed her passions.

 “I’ve always had an eye for color,” she said.

Yet it wasn’t until her sons were older that Denaburg took up painting full time, “I found something I wanted to do every day,” she said.

For the last decade Denaburg has been painting large abstract and contemporary landscapes.

After graduating with a degree in fashion merchandising, Denaburg spent her early twenties working as a makeup artist for Neiman Marcus models in Atlanta. She then worked as an account executive for Estee Lauder traveling around Alabama.

Denaburg uses acrylic paint mixed with other mediums to create texture in her landscapes. She is best known for her recreation of the scenic stretch of 30A in Seaside, Fla.

Viki Denaburg’s work can be seen and purchased locally at Studio On Linden and Art Alley in Homewood. To learn more about her work, visit www.vikidenaburg.com or www.artstudiosafebook.com.

Denaburg will be showing her work at the Mountain Brook Art Association 31st Annual Art Show.

This year's show will feature local artists including Lynn Briggs, Mary Mellen, and Barclay Gresham.
