Biography:
I am Danielle Guimond Clark and I am a San Diego native. I currently teach art along with darkroom and digital photography in Southeast San Diego. I had always felt a connection with the visual arts. When I was ten years old, my father taught me how to use his old 35mm Canon AE-1. From that day on, the camera became my tool for self expression and my creativity began to blossom. I find photography intriguing because of it's natural ability to quietly borrow moments of time. I am a photographer and freelance artist who is on a constant quest for learning and applying new techniques to my craft. My passions range from printing black and white photos in the darkroom to photo transfers onto textiles; clay wall hangings and imprinted wood collages, as well as jewelry crafting. My inspirations stem from the diverse cultures, places and people that I have connected and crossed paths with throughout my journey. I find beauty in each conversation and moment I share with my subjects. While traveling provides harmony and balance to my life, creating art is what keeps me grounded. As my work continues to evolve through each new experience, I try to maintain a positive focus as I embrace and spread da kyndevibes.
