Diatribe Diaries

Denise Legters has a long history. Denise spent a lot of time getting serious degrees from serious universities, among them an MFA from UPENN. She supported her art habit by illustrating for architects and archaeological journals, setting up displays for natural history and art museums, painting and selling landscape pictures, and teaching college level courses. Denise admits her greatest challenge has been raising two precocious children with her Japanese-born husband.  About her satirical works, Denise comments, “I have generated piles of notebooks with cartoon characters, who resurface when I am most stressed (and in the sketchiest of conditions). I draw cartoons when frustrated — and 2020 kept me frustrated for long stretches. The tragic and implausible events of 2020 into 2021 have put a spin on how I see things. Cartooning offers a curious path for finding sanity in absurdly chaotic times.”
