Denny Breese is known for vibrant beachscape acrylic paintings that are on the fringe of Realism, nudge the aspects of Impressionism, and are teased with tones of the Fauvist movement from the beginning of the 20th century.​
​
His favorite subjects to paint include coastal views and regional scenes from New South Wales in Australia. He's a beach lover who paints and a painter who regularly spends time on the sand and trails nearby—they feed each other. When he's discovering new coastal locations, he sees future paintings around every corner.
"Like many people, I've been constantly lured to the ocean. I love the salt in the air, the smell of the sea, the feel of the cool water rushing over my skin and the relaxing sound of the waves crashing on the shore. I love everything about it. Even the sand that gets everywhere! I also crave excitement and exhilaration from time to time. That is why I enjoy surfing so much."​

After growing up in Southern California, Denny left the USA at age 20 to study teaching in Australia. It was here that his love of of the coast and creating art increased significantly. After completing his Bachelors of Arts degree in 2004 from Avondale University in fine art and secondary teaching in 2008, along with his Aussie wife, headed back to California.
He taught high school art as well as other subjects for a few years. However, It was during the United States recession that circumstances took a major turn. Denny looked into the medical field and found physiotherapy.
After graduating from the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Loma Linda University in Southern California he worked in a variety of settings while simultaneously painting regularly in the evenings and on weekends.
Denny​ and his wife always knew they wanted to move back to the Land Down Under with their kids and finally after years of paying off massive student debt were able to relocate the family of four to Catherine Hill Bay, NSW. He is currently working as a physiotherapist in Australia and painting
