Danielle Harshenin

BIO

Hello! My name is Danielle Harshenin. I'm a Canadian artist living in the Okanagan valley of British Columbia. I am mostly known for my colorful, retro-inspired Barcode Landscape paintings. I have been painting with acrylics since 2006 and am completely self taught. I have been fortunate to show my work in galleries and several juried art shows. 

I started painting back in 2006 when I was expecting my first child and looking for a new hobby. After practicing for over a decade, it surprised me by becoming the career path I had long been searching for. Creating art feeds my soul. As someone who is easily distracted, painting has managed to hold my attention for almost 20 years, and that really says something! I need art in my life the same way I need water and air. 

My work tends to evolve each year as I continue practicing and "level up" my skills. My current work is a reflection of who I am today as an artist, and everything I have learned throughout my journey. I hope my art will bring joy into every space it finds.
