Squeezing art in along that journey whenever possible, Danielle has finally returned full-time to her much neglected passion.

Danielle has spent the past 5 years studying with contemporary masters, some including; Craig Nelson, Michelle Dunaway, Roger Dale Brown, Colley Whisson, Qiang Huang, Seth Haverkamp, Mia Bergon, Daud Akhriev.
