An artist, muralist, and agronomist, Danielle's multifaceted portfolio reflects her colorful journey through life, blending her passions for creativity and environmental stewardship into captivating artworks of all sizes.
From her early triumphs -at four years old, Hein won Best in Show in the vaulted La Mesa Elementary School art show for her self-portrait- to now more than thirty years on, and with reference to her nomadic home life, she has exhibited works all over: New Orleans, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Buffalo, and Chicago. Internationally, she has recently completed four murals -one in Rishikesh, India, one in Etajima, Japan, and two on the island of Koh Lanta, in Thailand.
In 2021, Danielle embarked on a transformative journey around the world, setting out to understand and document regenerative agriculture practices in diverse landscapes. This adventure has illuminated her creative practice and deepened her connection to the natural world, shaping her current vision in profound ways. Her present subject matter is an opportune cross-cultural mélange of her keepsake vibrancy, engaging geometric patterns, and the flora she has documented and attended to in detail.
Her upcoming exhibition this June (!), Because Remember There Are Flowers is a gentle reflection on the poignant reminder of life's infinite beauty and interconnectedness. Through her art, Miss Hein invites viewers to contemplate the resilience and elegance cyclically materialized in nature, offering a glimpse into the universal language of processional consciousness and growth. A dynamic mix of enamels, acrylics, and celestial metallics construct liminal, blooming spaces, a nod to the always slippery perception of artistic reality and its creator. An exhibition as reflection, testament, and reminder of life's more subtle beauties and our own bright roles in the greater order of things… we are what we repeatedly do.
