Meet the Artist

Danielle Rae (she/they), the maddest of mad dolls, doesn't just make art-they live it. Like a good millenial, she earned a mostly useless Bachelor's Degree and bounces around in the service industry for paychecks. They aim to devote minimal brain power to the grind of capitalism, and more of it to making art and living life. Crafting a style that is eclectic yet cohesive, Danielle loves exploring new media and having multiple projects to busy their buzzy brain. She has breathed imagination into over two dozen dolls since she began experimenting with them in 2022. Danielle also loves to make jewelry, draw, paint, linocut, collage, craft street art, sing, dance, and roller skate.
