Biography

Danielle Morris is a self-taught street and self-portrait photographer who absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into her daily practice. Her artistic style is inspired by Roy Decavara and Shawn Theodore. She is a psychologically driven artist with intentions of fostering the embodiment of power, confidences, self-love, and spirituality through the exploration, acceptance, and love of blackness and identity within blackness. Her works are often about the contact between urban architecture and the living elements of feminism. Morris focuses on the idea of the feminine in “public space” and more specifically in spaces where anyone can do anything at any given moment, namely: the non-private space and the space that is expressed through proximity to her subjects and their otherness to her sense of femininity. She was an assistant teacher of photography at the Village of Arts and Humanities and has exhibited at The Barnes Foundation where she placed in the top 20 of participating artists.
