Deneille Spohn Moes

Deneille Spohn Moes grew up in the backcountry of northern Michigan as the daughter of a minister, an upbringing that instilled in her a deep appreciation for simplicity, spirituality, and family values. Though she has had no formal training, she attributes her talent to a gift from God. A self-taught artist, she is also a wife and mother of five children.
Deneille began painting at 16 after purchasing a used oil set at a rummage sale for a dollar. Her first works were portraits of Christ, created with her fingertips and toothpicks because art brushes were too expensive at the time. Today, she is known for her meticulous attention to detail, and each of her paintings is unique with its own story, which typically accompanies the work.
The growing demand for her original paintings led Deneille to partner with Park West Gallery to publish original graphic works, including serigraphs and seri-lithographs. She has noted that these editions capture the color and detail of her originals while making the imagery affordable for collectors without compromising the art. The themes of her images are enduring and reflect the basic and foundational values of American life. She has built an immense following of collectors throughout the United States and abroad.
