Dennis Drew had an early interest in Ukiyo-e, (literlly pictures of the floating world.) It began while living in Japan in the late 1960s. His work is considered some of the funniest within this style. Although parodying Japanese art, Dennis has a great appreciation for the early Japanese masters. His one man shows in Hawaii have included Gallery Pacific, Village Gallery Lahaina, and the Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center in Makawao. He has shown his work in Portland at the Gottlieb Gallery, and more recently at a one man show within the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. He received a Bachelors of Arts Degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and has attended various classes at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, as well as the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts in Portland. He lives in Boise with his wife Dale, along with Bob the dog, and Peeps the cat.
