Danielle Gadus (b. 1998, Chicago, IL) currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, Graduating with an MFA in Integrated Practices at Pratt Institute in Spring 2025. Her work reflects an exploration of sensuality and somatic modes of perception. Relying primarily on silk as a medium, her work engages transdisciplinary processes including spatial installation, gestures of performance, and lens-based realizations. Embodying fluidity and movement through an array of methods and forms, ephemerality and constant change are a
through-line in her practice.

Her work has recently been included in exhibitions locally and internationally in addition to an array of artist led collaborative exhibitions and happenings across New York City and Brooklyn. Danielle regularly hosts and curates salon-style exhibitions, art-focused dinners, and talks in her studio apartment in addition to contributing to a monthly column called SAY LESS for ENVY Magazine highlighting artists that exemplify practices of supporting and fostering their local communities.
