About Dennis

Dennis Sheil grew up in a small town in Iowa, and after spending 20 years in the Air Force, now lives in the Napa Valley area of northern California. As a long time art collector, he has been surrounded by the beauty of art for many years. This constant influence of art surrounding him fueled his passion for painting – as it still does to this day.

In addition to being an artist, he is a project manager and restaurateur. Being a businessman, he must stay focused on the details of his day-to-day activities. He says “abstract and non-representational painting gives me an opportunity to let go of the finite, structured details I deal with on a daily basis. It is incredibly liberating and rewarding to be able to ‘dump the data, let loose, and let the paint flow.“

Dennis is very interested in the effects of both color and texture, and enjoys blending his passion of those with abstract imagery. The organic look and feel of his work brings a refined and developed feel to his paintings through a unique balance of composition, color, and texture.

Delighted to be following his passion in life, Dennis expresses his love and enthusiasm for art in each painting. By removing most “objects” he creates something organic with a story only the current observer can relate to.
