Denis received his training at the Art Institute of Boston from 1976 to 1978 where he received the Certificate of Merit for his art. He continued his training at the Paul Goodridge Art Studio, Salem, Ma. from 1979 to 1983. It was under the mentorship of Mr. Goodridge that Denis learned the techniques of the Gloucester School of Outdoor Painting founded by Emile Gruppe in the early 1930's. These techniques emphasize the use of bold color applied with expressive brushstrokes, creating a vibrant impression of a scenes and seascapes.
