Danielle Coleman is a multidisciplinary artist who holds a BFA from OCAD University. Obsessed with the element of kitsch and heartache within her practice, Coleman challenges the taboo of creating work that speaks to romantic relationships. Coleman is an artist focused on the philosophy of love in academia, idealized romance within popular culture, and creating a visual language for romance based on personal experiences - remembering the flowers bestowed by past lovers and the daydream qualities of falling in love with the beloved. Works are conceptually emphasizing cliché notions and practices within romantic relationships. Coleman is challenging the notions of “being a loved young woman” while tongue in cheek, playing upon the idea of wearing her heart on her sleeve.
