Deeply rooted in female agency, Danielle Anna Selma's practice seeks to manifest a reparative flux while embracing a relentless desire to challenge the status quo. Coming from a mixed cultural heritage, the artist is interested in language and the complex nature of the human experience.
Her making is multi-layered and blends painting, printmaking and textiles. She paints, draws and writes words or free flowing shapes. These gestural marks may be later screenprinted, cut, stitched up onto different materials.
In her recent series of prints 'It's All Good', shown here for the first time, Danielle explores notions of joy, connectivity and movement.
She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons The New School, New York in 2009. In 2016, she trained both at the Royal School of Needlework in Hampton Court Palace, England and at Ecole Lesage in Paris, France to further develop her embroidery skills. She just completed her MA at the Royal College of Art in Printmaking.
