Born in, Staffordshire on 25.01.1961. The initial use of the figure as the prime subject for my artwork began from academic life drawing sessions at art college. Over time i have had an interest in expressing my figurative art in various styles and formats. I prefer to paint in acrylic and to use a limited palett.

Danielle Duer is a professional artist living and working from her studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Her unusual pieces have been described as haunting and romantic. She uses bold, beautiful color combinations and layers the main images with dainty details so that the viewer can stare for hours and always see something new. These narrative paintings are quite feminine and successfully possess both realistic and fanciful charm. She includes symbolism to tell lighthearted stories that are metaphors for deeper truths and philosophies in her own life.
George Frederic Watts [1817-1904], British painter, was a popular Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the symbolist movement. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language.
