info_outlineHello! You are listening to Curator on the Go Podcast! Today I have the pleasure of speaking to Toronto based emerging artist Dani Febres.
Dani is Venezuelan-Canadian and was always passionate about art. She believes that life is even more beautiful when it's colorful, and, through her art practice, Dani fuels her paintings' surroundings with joy and happiness!
