About Peka
Born in 1993 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Danni was raised and now lives and works in Southwest Ohio.
Danni not only loves art but needs it to express what she cannot verbally. It is oftentimes hard for her to say what she means, so she uses her artwork to express her feelings, frustrations or other emotions she can't get across to others. Through her comics and characters, she tells stories to help her work things out or to make others see her perspective.
Danni's art is her voice. She expresses in her pictures and paintings what she cannot with her voice. The pain, loneliness, stress and anxiety that started her journey in the past will now help propel her to help others in the future. Doing this will help her to not only find a connection to others, but will help her to find a way to live and support herself. As the answers to the painful questions come, so will the expressions on canvas and paper in ink and paint.
Through her work, Danni hopes to help those who also have difficulty expressing themselves verbally; with projects that tell not only her story, but their stories too. She believes her work will heal, instill hope and teach. She hopes to be a pebble that sends out waves and will share her work with anyone who will listen or show interest.
