Darcel Deneau

Detroit has been a source of inspiration for Darcel Deneau for nearly 20 years. Using glass and objects she finds around the city, she builds images of Detroit that parallel its current growth, finding that there’s a striking similarity between the approach to her process and Detroit’s transformation. Her work has been widely collected and publicly displayed. Last year, Deneau’s work was recognized as best in show at the Anton Art Center’s 2020 MI Fine Arts Competition, juried by Detroit Institute of Arts Director, Salvador Salort-Pons, and she has placed in the award category of the annual College for Creative Studies Alumni Exhibition for 3 years in a row.
