About the Artist:
Danielle has been painting professionally as well as teaching art for over 25 years. Drawing and watercolor where her first means of expression and these mediums still influence her work in acrylics today.
She loves to paint daily surrounded by nature in her light filled studio in Gatineau. Her paintings are inspired by this nature and the ever changing feel of the seasons that she strives to capture with bold expressive brush strokes and a combination of transparent and opaque paint application witch creates a sense of movement as well as space and light in her work. Working in recurring series, her subject matter varies from colorful florals and fields to clean high contrasting more neutral winter landscape paintings. Her unique work is appreciated for it’s uplifting and calming mood.
