Danika Moir

Danika is a lifelong self-taught artist, approaching the world with a child-like curiosity. Every medium is a new playground and she eagerly bounces between many. As a deeply empathetic person, her work often explores connection and lived experience. Danika holds a BA in History and focused on crimes against humanity through primary and secondary resources, and as such her work often tell stories she has lived, witnessed, or read of. She considers her entire body of work as an evolving archive of her life and thoughts.
