Dannika Sullivan
My work is rooted in the quiet emotions that shape our lives, exploring the interplay of light, shadow, color, and form to capture intimate and universal moments. Driven by curiosity about how light interacts with the world—from sunlight through a window to the subtle shifts on a friend's laughing face—I find inspiration in the often-overlooked details of life. I strive to balance intricate detail with expressive brushwork, hoping to encourage others to embrace their complex emotions and find light even in the darkest moments.
