What am I all about?

 

Artist Marine Zoologist Educator Writer Master Gardener

Danielle (Danney) Parkins is a curious soul that enjoys experimenting; one day she could be pressing seaweed, and the next collaging with beeswax. She’s even done research on snails with the scanning electron microscope. Working across many different media, she uses her watery themed art to gravitate viewers to the unusual, sometimes humorous depictions, and often to voice environmental and social concerns.

One of my favorite recent works:

Mastectomy Mermaid

Mermaids come in all shapes and sizes, and this one is the heroine of survival! Some people have commented, so just to reveal… she has had a double, non-nipple sparing mastectomy, with reconstruction implants… why hide it with seashells?! Be proud! She won an Honorable Mention in the last “Femme Locale” show at the 420 Loft Gallery in Ellensburg, Washington.
