ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Danielle Krysa began her career as a painter, but her love for graphic design quickly changed her interest from painting to mixed media (specifically collages filled with narratives, negative space, and pop cultural references.) She’s also is the writer behind the contemporary art site, The Jealous Curator, and the author of Creative Block, Collage and Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk. (Of course.) Danielle lives and works in British Columbia, Canada.

Danielle has been making work for years, but she’s been focused on her current body of work since late 2015. Using found images, bright blooms/swashes of paint, and long funny titles, she is truly embracing her lifelong love of story telling.
