Danielle René is a Black, Queer visual artist and writer. She uses mixed-media techniques to center Queer people. Her work in visual arts seeks to explore and comment on the tension we experience with body acceptance, mental health, and identity. As a writer, many of her works are inspired by quotes and passages from other writers, particularly marginalized writers such as women, Black and/or Queer writers, or her own work. Danielle is self-taught and currently based in Washington, DC.
