Details
Danielle Krysa has a BFA in Visual Arts and a post-grad in graphic design. She is the writer/curator behind the contemporary art site, The Jealous Curator (est.2009), and has curated art shows from Washington DC to Los Angeles, and San Francisco to Toronto.
Danielle creates her own artwork as well – mixed media collages that combine found images, paint, and as much humor as she can pack into each title.
When she’s not in the studio, Danielle is writing books: “Creative Block”, “Collage”, and “Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk” were the first three, and her fourth book, “A Big Important Art Book – Now with Women”, was released in October of 2018.
Danielle has also had the great pleasure of speaking at TEDx, PIXAR, Creative Mornings, and CreativeLive, and was interviewed for several video segments on oprah.com.
My mom is an artist so I’ve been making art since I was a baby. Literally. I ended up going to art school - which was a terrible experience - took a 15 year hiatus, and then got back into the art world when I started The Jealous Curator in 2009.
In art school, I was told to remove the humor I was putting into my work - I “wouldn’t be taken seriously” if I made funny art. It took a long time, but I finally tossed that out the window and embraced my personality and infused it into my mixed media work. I am totally inspired by images I find in old books, and lately I’m a bit obsessed with working costume jewelry into everything I do!
