Danielle collects shopping lists.
She scavenges them from shopping carts, the floor, trash cans, and receives occasional generous donations from friends and acquaintances. She has hundreds, both from the U.S. and from Italy, stashed away mostly in the form of a crumpled mess squeezed into an overflowing box.

Danielle was born in Washington D.C., in 1967. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, then moved to New York City. She always considered herself first and foremost a painter, but once in New York she found herself making a living as a jeweler.
After having two children, and wanting to get away from the dangerous materials involved in metal work, she discovered and began working exclusively in felt. No more gas tanks, dirty goggles, dangerous chemicals or leaky sand blasters - now her tools are a pair of scissors, a needle, thread, and, most importantly, a thimble.
Since college Danielle has lived in Tribeca, Soho, the Financial District, Brooklyn, and Florence, Italy.
With her felt work she has exhibited at the Smithsonian Craft Show, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, American Craft Council shows, SOFA in New York and Chicago, and the Chelsea/Origins show in London. Her work is in galleries throughout the U.S., such as Julie Artisans’ Gallery in New York, Snyderman Gallery in Philadelphia, and The Textile Museum in Washington D.C., as well as galleries in Europe.
