Inspired by folklore, ‘90s cartoons, femininity, and the supernatural, Danielle O'Malley creates a weird and whimsical world through her artwork. Her pieces blend camp sensibilities, sugarcoated kitsch, and surrealism, using gouache, acrylic, and cartoonist techniques to craft a fantastical parallel universe that mirrors and reimagines our own. Drawing on childhood nostalgia, adult humor, and existential themes, her work explores complex emotions related to life, death, spirituality, gender, and our shared humanity. From dioramas and mixed media paintings to life-size playhouses and fabric designs, Danielle’s creations bring this imaginative world to life. Each piece is lovingly handmade in her LA studio and can be found through ecommerce, wholesale, and at art fairs across the country.
