Danielle’s work weaves together themes of material agency, geological time, sustainability, and care. Her practice challenges anthropocentric views, positioning herself as a participant in broader ecological and temporal processes. Drawing on natural phenomena, her art bridges scientific, domestic, and environmental narratives, creating works that are simultaneously intimate and expansive. Her practice offers a reflective and critical engagement with the materials and stories of the rocks. Danielle has a BFA from Toronto Metropolitan University (2012) and is currently finishing her MFA degree at Western University (2025). She is cross-disciplinary, drawing from experience in photography, painting, printmaking, several crafts, and folk arts. She has received several awards from Canada Council for the Arts and Region of Waterloo Arts Fund. Danielle aims to create responsibly by resourcefully sourcing material from the recycling bin and by foraging for bits of earth both globally and locally, on the traditional territories of Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Neutral peoples.
