Artist Gallery » Danielle Akiyama
The contemplative nature of Danielle’s work can be traced to her training as an art therapist. Upon mastering sumi-e, or Japanese for brushpainting, Danielle was given the name of Cho-Sho, or “source of joy”. There’s a sense of mystery to the layered underpainting of Danielle’s work. Each mighty brushstroke is guided by nature’s beauty, evoking a cadence that leads the viewer, step by step, upon a journey to the frontiers of possibility. Her East/West artistry is highly sought after by collectors of both sides of Pacific.
