Stories of African-American men & women
December 20, 2010
For more than 30 years, Artist Denise Allen has been creating one-of-a-kind 3d Folk Art Story Quilts, 19th Century Early American Cloth Dolls, painted and embellished Cloth Folk Art Wall hangings, Folk Art Paintings and 3-dimensional embroidery needlework.
Although she started out with Embroidery Art, which is still her first love, she is better known for her highly sought-after 3d Folk Art Story Quilts. Additionally, her one-of-a-kind 19th Century Cloth Dolls are in demand by discriminating art collectors.
Take a moment to look at her work and read about her life. It’s nothing short of remarkable. You can also read about her trip to Dakar Senegal on the State Department’s Website. She is also listed in their alphabetical listing of artists.
