art delivery : 07.27.24

I’m currently at the Venice airport, heading home to Canada. My laptop battery is at 15% and my electricity converter is broken… so I’m typing as fast as I can!

The experience at the European Cultural Academy’s ‘Contemporary Art Course’ was, once again, nothing short of MAGICAL. Thirty-one artists and one curator from around the world just spent the past two weeks exploring, not only Venice and the Biennale, but also their own goals/dreams. I’m invited to this program to teach (inner critic / creative block stuff), but I always come away learning more about myself as an artist than I ever could have predicted. I am excited for everyone who attended, and I’m counting down the seconds until I’m back in my studio… SO MANY IDEAS!

I can’t wait to share what I’m up to on my own, personal art journey. I’m excited, but more importantly, I’M TRULY CONFIDENT, AND REALLY READY. And so, if I could wave a magic wand on this fine Saturday, I would make every single one of you feel the same way. I want all of you to realize how important your creativity and artwork is to the world. Pour a strong coffee, roll your shoulders back, and GO GET WHAT YOU WANT. Okay, my laptop is at 11%, and my flight is boarding. See you on the other side ~ Danielle

ps. There are a handful of artists who were in Venice with me, that are also daily subscribers to this ART DELIVERY! Finally meeting them, and spending so much time with them in person was absolutely bellissimo! xx
