A little bit about me!

Hi, I’m Danielle and I’m a Yorkshire born, Belfast-based watercolour artist, inspired by all thing’s nature and architecture.

A little bit about me. First and foremost I’m a wife and momma to a very rambunctious seventeen month old, which is super fun. Becoming a mum has brought so much meaning to my life and given me a sense of purpose I never had before. It’s also influenced the type of art I create and given me the confidence to paint new subjects, such as animals which I typically shied away from in the past.

Although I’m originally from Yorkshire, I did in-fact grow up on my granddads farm in Ireland, and this is where my love of nature really began. As a child living on a farm, I spent a lot of my time waddling through fields, eating berries off trees, and watching my granddad tend to the cabbage patch in his garden. These precious memories have stayed with me ever since and to this day continue to inspire my artwork. As an artist, I aim to capture my love of nature through the mediums of watercolour and ink, which gives me the freedom to create detailed, and expressive art that carries an air of wistfulness.

Aside from nature, I love architecture and painting historical buildings. This is demonstrated in my ‘NI and Donegal Landmarks’ collection that takes inspiration from architectural buildings and popular landmarks across Northern Ireland and Co. Donegal. However, my love of buildings and popular landmarks move far beyond Ireland. This is why I decided to create ‘Your Space’. This is a place where I create commissioned art inspired by a special setting or location. This can be anything from the place where you got engaged, the building/church you got married in, a favourite holiday destination, or even a portrait of your own home. If you’d like to know more about ‘Your Space’, please click here.

As with my nature subjects, I use the mediums of watercolour and ink to inject some fun and personality into my work, all the while encapsulating the individual characteristics of each subject.
