Danielle's work has been exhibited at environmental art exhibitions in London and Japan and at the biannual open studi exhibitions

at Stockwell Studios and Eel Pie Island. She co-ordinated and curated ‘Haven for Senses’, a sculpture exhibition in a nature park in

Kings Cross.

 

She is a proficient project manager and a highly experienced and motivated workshop facilitator. Danielle works with children and adults with a whole range of abilities and in all sorts of community settings. Her workshops include teaching school children inventive and traditional techniques using plastic bags, such as crochet and knotting, creating beautiful installations. She has co-ordinated workshops making African houses from recycled materials to accompany the Africa Remix exhibition at the South Bank and also giant withy and paper sculptures for celebratory community parades and of course mosaic.

 

In 2005 Danielle moved to rural South West Wales where she now lives with her family in her self-built low-impact home. She has established a branch of Art4Space in Wales. So far Art4Space Wales has facilitated some inspirational mosaic projects in Family and Community Centres (some accredited) and hopes are to expand into schools. 

 

Danielle's ability to communicate ideas and share those of others, her good organisational skills, motivation and sheer enthusiasm

for her work and that of others, has led to a very exciting and fulfilling career.
