Art Portfolio By Danielle Y.  Bernard

What can I say about my art?  To me

my art is all about state of mind.  I have

been creating for as long as I can

remember. Not only with images, but

with sculpture, sewing, writing, music,

construction, you name it.  My life has

been a challenging one to put it lightly,

and art has been my personal outlet.

Art has served as a way of coping and

creating a new way of looking at life.

 Often times you can find me deeply

involved in one of my various projects.

 I have been called a space cadet

because I can easily get lost in thought.

I love people and trying to understand

the different ways people think abou

t life and interact with others.   I have

taken a particular interest in

psychological states of mind.   I draw a

lot of inspiration from the events,

people and places from my life and

childhood, as well as the innocence, imagination, and complexities of childhood in general. Many of my images take place in somewhat of a dream world. These images are mainly created by putting pencil to paper and letting the images evolve themselves with little or no planning. I try to create something beautiful out of everything because I believe that life is beautiful. No matter what road you’re going down, no matter how bumpy. There are beautiful things all along the way, and through my art, I try to share that view.
