Denise recently published a book, We are All Children at the End, which is a deeply personal account of the artist's upbringing in Brazil, her journey to the US, and her life in New York City, while also exploring her mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s during the final years of her life. When her mother moved in with her in the US, the author began teaching her how to draw and paint. This creative process became a way for her mother to overcome many challenges posed by the illness and rediscover her passion for the arts. The author documented some of her mother’s works, including paintings and drawings, during this time. The book highlights how art can change the perception of illness and inspire a renewed desire for life. The artist writes under the pen name Denise VanMoss. This book can be purchased through the publisher, Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie Publishers Ltd.
