Danielle Alexander

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m an Oshawa-based artist with a love of illustration and comics. I recently graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts from York University, where I was President of the Visual Arts Students Association and worked as a Studio Monitor Assistant in their Printmaking studio.

I try to tell a story through each of my artworks, and I love exploring my identity and experiences through my art. 

When I’m not drawing I love watching movies, reading, and hiking.
