Denise Mumm was honored as the Artist of the Month at this week’s meeting of the Atlantic Highlands Mayor and Council.
Mumm, who was born in Germany and currently has an exhibit at the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club also frequently has work on display at the Arts Council on First Avenue
She said much of her art work is inspired by Atlantic Highlands, where she has lived since 2017.
A sculptor as well as an artist, who paints in mixed media, Mumm said all boat yards are fascinating to paint, and she has been inspired by the boat yard in Atlantic Highlands in particular and sees it is as a study in geometry, filled with colors that inspire and serve as a basis for some of her work.
She also noted she is fascinated by oysters, has painted them many times, and loves to study their unique beauty as well as fascinating facts about their nature. Studying oyster shells serves as a meditation for her, she said.
Many of Mumm’s works can be seen on her website at DeniseMumm.com
