"Art-Awareness of Oneness"
Denny McNeill Exhibit

The mid to late 60s were the days of Viet Nam and the draft which complicated the process of figuring out what one was going to do with their life. Denny’s solution was some combination of dropping out and trying to create an alternate lifestyle that ignored and avoided these remote and enforced realities. With the assistance of a Philosophy Professor, he explored ways to avoid the draft and Viet Nam. The upshot of all that was Denny dropping out of college and moving to Crested Butte in 1967 where he decided to openly defy the Draft Board by mailing his Draft Card back to them with a strongly worded request to stay out of his life. Apparently, this worked because he never heard another word from his Draft Board. Meanwhile his interest in creative endeavors was becoming rekindled.

The exigencies of life sent Denny into the real world of earning a living in earnest. He spent time in Denver, CO; Casper, WY; and Los Angeles, CA where he had a door installation business for 20 years. Then back to Colorado in 2002. After a couple more moves Denny has re-emerged on the Western Slope and is now living in Delta. Through all the years and trials and tribulations of life, art was always the first thing on Denny’s mind and many hundreds of pieces of sculpture, jewelry and wall art pieces have come to be – many of which are in homes all over the country and abroad.

painting through dedicated work and practice. Another local western artist, Jack Roberts, also encouraged Grant throughout his career. Lanny met Conrad Schwiering in Jackson,
Wyoming in 1985 who critiqued his work and encouraged him to work directly from Nature.
