Dennis Cleasby is a prolific American artist, musician, photographer,
and author living on New York’s Long Island. He gets most of his inspiration
for his creative works in the natural settings that abound in the northeastern
United States, the bustle of New York City. He spends many months a year
traveling the globe learning about new cultures, photographing, painting,
and authoring his thoughts. |
| Dennis has journeyed to some of the world’s most
exotic locales looking for spectacular scenery and communities to express
and practice his art forms. His travels have taken him to some sixty (plus)
foreign countries where his camera and paintbrush find inspirational subject
matter. |
| Dennis has been a featured guest artist-performer
in concerts, and on radio and television. He has performed for three decades,
and has produced several albums on which he sings his original songs. Dennis’
artwork is displayed creatively on each of these albums. At museums, coffeehouses,
festivals, political rallies and professional conferences, his music has
been spotlighted. His songs of social change and human rights are filled
with love and humor. This distinguished voice of the future has a true talent
as an author, singer, songwriter, photographer, and visual artist. Most
importantly, Dennis is a dedicated educator of tomorrow’s artists and photographers.
