Curator. Artist. Educator. Creative Connector.

Creativity connects people.

Whether she is curating an exhibition, helping an organization select art, teaching a class or putting paintbrushes into the hands of an entire corporate team, Danielle wants people to leave with a greater sense of curiosity, connection and possibility.

Work With Danielle

Danielle's Approach

Four words that shape every experience.

  • Explore

    There isn't one "right" way to make art.

  • Create

    Experiment with materials, ideas and techniques.

  • Connect

    Use creativity to strengthen relationships and conversations.

  • Discover

    Walk away seeing yourself, your team or your environment differently.

Process over perfection. Curiosity over judgment.
Connection through creativity.

What Could We Create Together?

Whether you're bringing a team together, looking for the right artwork, developing an exhibition or simply looking for more creativity in your life, Danielle would love to hear what you're imagining.
