My name is Daniela a/o Dani (they-she), I am 21 years old, and I will be graduating this spring from Plymouth State University, with a BFA in Art & Design with a concentration in Pre Art-Therapy. I am a mixed media artist and illustrator, and the mediums I use most in my artwork are drawing, collage, photography, and procreate digital. When I am not making art, other passions of mine include leadership + advocacy work, youth development, and peer mentoring. Through my art, I hold value and passion for found objects, the influence music, film, and dance has on us, highly saturated / whimsical color schemes, collage-work, and themes of identity formation & declaration.
The purpose of this website is to hold a digital space to showcase my artwork & professional background/resume.
I believe that art holds a great deal of power, to which viewing art or creating art can pave a way for us to tap into our emotions and express ourselves, in a way that can sometimes be hard to do verbally or written through words. I want to pursue a background in Art Therapy because I am both deeply passionate about art, as I am about psychology, leadership-work, and advocating for others in my community.For professional inquiry, check out my contact information and resume in the last tab above.
For anyone who has lingered this far, I appreciate you and hope you stick around ! Remember that you are loved, that healing is never linear, and whatever you do with your life, do it with love and do it your way.
