Jim Denney

Double Cross, 2025, Oil on canvas, 48 x 84 inches.

Jim Denney b.1953 is an American painter who lives and works in Hudson, New York. Denney, a son and grandson of loggers and laborers in the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest is a painter and former logger & fireman bearing witness to record the effects of logging, mining and forest fires to address an idealized view of and to warn of the effects of human & industrial depredations on the land. Denney's use of intense color and realist plus abstract imagery create story lines that clearly label him a  pro environmentalist. Denney was educated at The University of Oregon and Kanas. He served on the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University for 20 years and he has exhibited throughout the United States since 1980.

Denney's first exhibition with Philip Douglas Fine Art is a two person exhibition in 2025 with works from the estate of Jennifer Wynne Reeves in a show entitled The Landscape is a Conveyor - the title being a metaphor for two very different painters who share the landscape to tell their personal stories.
