"Passionate, serious and always (he) knew how to draw"
are some of the ways Denis has been described as recently.
Leaving the white collar and professional worlds to reignite his love to be creative, his love for film, photography and the quill means a lot to many.
Polyglot, travelled and never afraid to question the status quo, he dreams of bringing people's lives, loves and tribulations to life through story-telling, film, photography and print.
30 years as an accredited landscaper, lawyer, mediator and WHS professional has allowed him to truly experience life, hence the empathy and love.
He co-founded the Strings Attached Mauritian Diaspora Project (SAMDP) in 2018 and managed it until 2020. A NFP helping disadvantaged youth to flourish in the sphere of tennis.
Sadly, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the philanthropic operations had to cease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3jKT2OT5vA
He currently lives on Dharug Country on the East Coast of New South Wales, Australia with is wife and children.
