ABOUT THE ARTIST

When I'm not in the studio painting or buried under a pile of wool working on textile projects, you can find me developing and instructing creative workshops. I’m known for my expressive paintings, travel-inspired textiles, upbeat and comprehensive workshops, and vibrant large-scale murals for Lululemon and more. I discovered punch needle 3 years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve taken several workshops in Toronto, worked alongside avid “punchers”, and I’m thrilled to finally share this beautiful and addictive craft with you all! - Danielle Folkerts
