About Danielle O'Connor Akiyama

Danielle O'Connor Akiyama's artistic journey is a vibrant fusion of cultures and experiences. From her beginnings in Toronto, Canada, she discovered solace and inspiration in her close-knit community, which ignited her passion for painting. Her global travels and battle with illness in her youth shaped her expressive style, blending eastern and western influences into luminous artworks, enriched by her mastery of sumi-e calligraphy. Now settled on the wild coast of Ireland, Danielle continues to draw inspiration from rugged landscapes, infusing her work with energy and colour. Beyond the canvas, she empowers others through art therapy. With international acclaim and a retrospective book, Danielle invites us all to share in the joy and beauty of her boundless artistic vision.
