Denise Wey’s Retrospective: Twenty-Two Years of Painting the Yuba River beautifully chronicles the artist’s process and her rapid evolution over decades. I am fortunate to own ten of her originals. With each new day, I can be easily transported to the River, as if I am coming around the bend, always surprised and standing in awe of Nature’s power and magnificence.

“This book invites you to experience a well of creative expression which in itself is transforming due to the way she lays bare her artistic process. ”
Denise Wey’s paintings of our beloved Yuba River are an amazing tribute to the ever-changing, ever enduring, beautiful flow of one of nature’s most beautiful places on our planet. As each painting comes into being, layer, by layer, it is as if Denise can see into the soul of each place she sets out to paint...This book is like opening a visual cache of love letters and poetry to a place we all know and love.
— Eileen Blodgett, Painter And Printmaker, B.S. Art Education, MA Ed. San Francisco State University
Denise Wey: A Retrospective, is a generous journey of heartfelt moments of the Yuba River as experienced through the eyes of a dedicated artist. Wey's paintings resonate with a visual sound of soothing cellos. The water is gentle; the moments are precious, all the while, the palette she works with is bright. Her work is whispering in one ear, lulling you to a calm place, while the crisp sound of color reminds you to stay alert. Denise's work leaves me feeling at peace with the world.

“Denise Wey has accomplished what many have striven for: She paints light. She captures the movements on the surface of the water, and—with sheer paint magic—contrasts it with glances of an underwater world rarely seen in a painting. Masterfully layering shapes, color fields, bold strokes, and meticulous reflections, she creates images that celebrate our openness to the metaphysical in nature. ”
