	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’.

	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.
