Denis Bourke produces art and design works in a range of media from his studio north of Auckland, New Zealand.  His special interest in landforms and topography includes study of geomorphology at tertiary level and may reflect a birth and childhood a few kilometres from Mount Taranaki.  His work is held in numerous collections in New Zealand and overseas.
Denis has recently completed a large  (160m2)  mural series at the Albertland Heritage Centre at Wellsford, North Auckland.
