		“My Only Joy” Fluid Acrylic on Canvas 40 x 40 Gloss Finish


	in order to understand the strength and simplicity of a single brushstroke, danielle studied sumi-e, Japanese brushpainting. Upon receiving her master’s seal, the head sensei named her “Chi-Sho”, which means ‘a source of joy’, and embodies both the artistic process and the observers viewpoint. Each work bears her chop as well as her signature ‘danielle’.


	“Night Falls while Spring Awakens” Fluid Acrylic on Canvas with a Lacquer Finish 48 x 60


	This mastery of blending east/west artisty is evident, and has led to her works being highly prized by many Asian collectors. Strength of skill and brush technique, (fude no chikara), blend with knowledge of color and shadow, giving rise to beauty’s voice. Impressions and feelings are absorbed in meditation, synthesized, and brought into being by the mighty stroke of a charged brush.

	Answer Me My Love Fluid Acrylic on Canvas 30 x 60


	Whether it be a riotous party of flowers, a single magnificent blossom, or a tranquil terrain of a place remembered, there is always a hidden mystery in the underpainting. This aspect of danielle’s work is what lies at the heart of her creations.

	“Siena in December” Fluid Acrylic- Lacquer Finish 24 x 24 SOLD


	danielle notes,


	“the hope series comes from painting up north ( a native reserve). somehow these “poppies”...(representing hope) ...spring out of the waters... and reach... reach... and parade and reach across to hope island, (the name of the only land mass I can see up there). there is a story, and I hope it spreads across the world... embracing and lending.”
