Featured Artist Member Denise Schryver
Meet Denise Schryver our featured Member Artist. Denise is an accomplished artist working in pastels and fiber arts and a very nice person.
In 1978, Denise came to the Paso Robles area to work for the world-famous horse trainer, Linda Tellington-Jones. From there, she worked on the Polish Arabian Stud Farm, the largest private stud farm in all of Germany.
Ten years ago, Denise and her husband, Charles, began Kitehawk Farm, a certified organic farm producing award winning Arbequina Olive oil.
Denise also owned and operated Olive Tree Fine Arts, a gallery and working studio in Atascadero, California. After 5 years she closed the gallery and is now at home on the farm full-time. In addition to painting and weaving, Denise makes healthy, wholesome food and cosmetic products from her certified-organic olive oil and herbs.
To learn more about her and her interesting life, read the whole interview in this month’s Newsletter.
