Varuska Denysschen was born into a very creative family and was constantly surrounded by art, music and creativity. Her grandmother and mother was her biggest inspiration to one day make a living from her art. This caused Varuska to take Visual Arts as a subject in high school where she made sure to exceed in the classroom and eventually got a distinction for Visual Arts in matric. After matric Varuska went on to study Jewellery Design and Manufacturing at the University of Johannesburg. She received a Merit Award from PlatAfrica in 2013 for one of her platinum designs and also received distinctions in many of her subjects.

After graduation Varuska decided to not let her love for Visual Arts go and became a Visual Arts teacher for Gr 10 – 12 learners. In June 2021, after five years of teaching, Varuska was at a place where she felt comfortable to leave the education sector in order to give private classes which she thoroughly enjoys.

Varuska continues to grow in her art style, knowledge and skill and seeks for more opportunities to learn every day while enjoying the journey with those around her.
