In 2016, Denise won “Best-in-Show” in the Las Vegas International Juried Art Competition. The winning artwork, “The Jacks of Jupiter” will be shown along with a dozen of the other pieces from her House of Cards Series.
The series reimagines a deck of cards in large-scale works on paper. Weaver Ross spent three years creating the vibrantly colored images: 52 cards plus four jokers/wild cards. The 26 x 40-inch images layer cultural, political, historical and mystical references. Clubs become trees, spades explore bones and fossils, and diamonds transform in to constellations and celestial bodies, and hearts draw inspiration from Egyptian Tomb paintings and the Tarot .
“Nobody can accuse me of being a minimalist,” Weaver Ross says, in describing these pieces. “I shuffle everything I’ve experienced or learned in life and create new connections and metaphors that play out in the images.”
The artist donates part of her profits to organizations that support people living with Sickle Cell Disease. Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that causes severe pain episodes and a shortened life span. The artist’s late husband, Colin Ross, died from complications of the disease when he was just 39.
