I was born and raised in the DC area. I attended performing arts schools from middle school through high school. I earned a BFA in 2005. I paint, draw and do printmaking. The majority of my pieces are abstract.

I am an independent visual artist and art instructor in Maryland.
As a Multidisciplinary Artist and single mom, time has had to become fluid for me in order to create. My latest works consist of images capturing moments in my life along with prose concerning homelessness, The Patriarchy, living as a gender-fluid person in the 80s and 90s in DC and Baltimore, and the characters that come along with that life. I am actively seeking publishers interested in such works, and galleries and pop-ups that may be interested in said subject matter. Corporate sponsorships are also, of course, welcomed and appreciated.
Landscape painter Daniel Wise evokes memories and feelings in his viewers with a style reminiscent of the Impressionists. He coaxes these stories onto the canvas using a number of media including dry pastel, gouache, and oils. Whether en plein air or in his converted barn studio, he captures Nature’s intangibles with subtlety and grace. Daniel has a BFA in painting and has studied with several notable artists. His work was recognized with several awards as a signature member of the American Impressionists Society and Pastel Society of America.

I view all art as symbols - the meaning of which is as unique as each viewer. Facial expressions are a very powerful form of communication - sometimes even more powerful than words. For this reason, expressive portrait drawings and paintings are my favorite form of art.
