Danielle oConnor Akiyama

Award winning artist Danielle O'Connor Akiyama has a unique, loose, flowing style. Her bold primary coloured florals are not just eye catching, they stop you in your tracks.

This style demonstrated to perfection by Danielle is the sumi-e art form and in recognition of her accomplishment Danielle O'Connor Akiyama has been given the name “chi-sho” that means a ‘source of joy’.

Enhanced by a high gloss resin “highlighting each image ... means that they hold and reflect the light in a completely different way, and has made me look at my own work through new eyes”, Danielle explains.

Based in Toronto, Canadian Danielle O'Connor Akiyama joins the Urban Galleries portfolio as one of of our international artists. Visit Danielle's website for more information.
