Inspired by the lush vineyards of Santa Barbara County and fueled by a deep admiration for the artistry of winemaking, Danielle has embarked on a unique creative journey. Exploring the ancient technique of painting with wine pigments, she marries tradition with innovation in her artistic expression.

Having delved into various art forms throughout her lifetime, Danielle found herself drawn to this unexpected medium, captivated by its rich history and endless possibilities. Today, she channels her passion into hosting painting parties nationwide, where participants discover the art of using wine alongside traditional paints like acrylic and watercolor.

Each wine bottle, with its distinctive hues and aging process, becomes a canvas imbued with the essence of time and craftsmanship.

As the paintings continue to oxidize, they take on new shades, transforming into living, breathing works of art.

From the vibrant tones extracted straight from the bottle to the nuanced hues derived from fermented or evaporated wine, Danielle explores the complexities of wine painting with both finesse and simplicity. Through her art, she invites others to experience the beauty and versatility of this ancient yet ever-evolving medium.
