About the Artist
Danielle Kosann playfully uses references from books, music, film, architecture and art history in order to piece together imaginary worlds that feel familiar and nostalgic to us, while playing on our collective desire to escape. Her work is admired for its detailed and immersive scenes that create a sense of place which engage, inspire, and captivate the viewer. Her hope is for the viewer to get lost in the narrative, allowing them to constantly discover something new in the story, and find little Easter eggs along the way.
