I am Danielle Joy DeMuro, a multidisciplinary artist based in Portland who works with painting, drawing, and public art. My practice explores ecology, community engagement, and the dialogue between art and everyday life. I’ve taught reading to diverse learners and mentored tattoo apprentices, weaving together studio practice with hands-on teaching and collaboration. Through murals, group shows, and public art projects, I transform spaces and invite viewers to engage with color, texture, and story. I’m always looking for new opportunities to create work that resonates locally while connecting with broader conversations in art and ecology.
