About

My name is Danielle Daniel and after 13 years of marriage I finally took my partner's last name (even though he thought it was weird).

I am living my life as an artist and a writer. Since picking up the paintbrush in 2010, I have  painted well over 500 paintings.  I wear my heart on my sleeve and I believe being an artist is a REAL job.  I no longer wear my teacher pants to work, trading them in for my  jeans, painting apron and converse shoes.

I am a mother to a thoughtful and compassionate boy named Owen who understands the value of kindness.  My partner Steve is a military Veteran, Paralympian and  is now attending Medical School in our hometown in Northern Ontario.  I also have a dog named Frodo.

 I paint the feminine and expresses my own femininity throughout my artwork.  I am Métis-Algonkin, franco-ontarienne, and a very proud Canadian.  I'm also working on a collection of  short stories (creative non-fiction).  I'm inspired by good books, authentic people and stories of the past that remain buried in our hearts.  I  taught for many years at the Elementary, College and University levels.  I have happily left Academia behind to paint, write, and share my truth.
