Dani Schmidt

Dani Schmidt is a queer illustrator, printmaker and mixed media artist based in Holyoke, MA. 

In their artwork, they have a heavy focus on organic life and nature as a consistent theme that is explored. They mainly work with ink and watercolors but they also enjoy incorporating mixed media into their process. Digital and physical collaging has been an important part of their process in the past 2 years, as well as telling a narrative with their visual work. They devote much time to their personal projects such as illustrations for books, fine art paintings, and printmaking projects. They graduated from the Institute of Art and Design at New England Collage in Manchester, NH in 2021. Their goal is to use their art as a function of storytelling; as one of the most time honored and important traditions of humanity.
