Denis Brown

 

Denis Brown was born in Dublin in 1968. Ireland's rich heritage of ancient calligraphy in manuscripts such as The Book of Kells, was inspiration for Denis Brown as a schoolboy. Denis studied calligraphy at St. Benildus College Dublin in 1981 and from 1985 to 1986 studied Visual Communications at the College of Marketing & Design, Dublin. Later, his rigorous formal training in traditional calligraphy was at London's Roehampton Institute with Ann Camp. Now his work explodes from, and extends, those traditions in the form of innovative modern works of art. Widely travelled with his work, he has won awards and commissions on four continents, and is internationally recognised as a world leader in the field of letter arts.
