Bio
Canadian artist Deborah Danelley, born in 1956, currently resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she discovered her passion for creating art. She graduated from the University of Manitoba’s School of Art in 1997 as a Gold Medalist, and since then has been working fulltime as a visual artist.
Although her thesis was in printmaking, it was the process and the materials that appealed to her the most, and so it was a natural progression that she moved into more mixed media work. Deborah’s work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions and she has completed public and private commissions including installations; the most recent being in Havana, Cuba in 2010, where she also works and volunteers annually, conducting art workshops for the children and artists in the Muraleando Community Project.
