Dennis Quillin

Washington, D.C.

Dennis Quillin is an artist based in Washington, D.C. whose works traverse the line between the familiar and the abstract. Since becoming an artist at Art Enables, Dennis has cultivated a distinctive style marked by his meticulous application of colored pencil. His compositions often feature bold, yet highly controlled, palettes, using layered, feathery strokes to build texture and imbue simple forms with a palpable sense of movement.

His artistic process begins with an internal impulse- a need to translate his unique vision of the world onto the page. Though his works are largely abstract, they frequently hint at recognizable forms- creatures, landscapes, or everyday objects- inviting viewers to discover their own interpretations within the mysterious shapes and humming backgrounds. 

Within the Art Enables studio environment, Dennis is known for his focused concentration, often diving into a piece with singular dedication. However, he is equally renowned among his peers for his wicked sense of humor, which brings light and levity to the creative space.
