About
Danielle Bobier is a Vancouver-based visual artist whose practice finds interest in elements of material, abstraction, geometry, and the natural world. Working primarily as a painter, her compositions consider the act of horizon-gazing, observing the inner landscape through a symbolic lens. She has shown in numerous exhibitions, most recently at spaces such as Trapp Projects, the lobby space at the Contemporary Art Gallery, and Art Rental & Sales, Operated by the Vancouver Art Gallery. She holds a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2016), and a diploma in Fine Art from Langara College (2014). She is the recipient of two BC Arts Council grants, the Langara College Painting Studio Award, and residencies at Malaspina Printmakers and Makerlabs. Her work can be found in collections across Canada and in the US.
