"Danae Brissonnet is an international artist from Quebec, Canada who specializes in public murals, illustration, mask making and puppetry.
​Creating imagined worlds for the viewer, her art invites a deeper consideration into the power of symbolism, myth, and metaphor. Brissonnet’s art enforces connections between her work, herself, and the public in which it engages. Most importantly, her process is about becoming involved in communities where she can tell stories of the people, their land, and their culture.

Wherever Brissonnet is creating there is likely to be a workshop, where she can share her experience. She seeks locations where art is not accessible and finds importance in working with children to empower them to paint their stories with whatever materials they have. Brissonnet's professional illustration work is what enables her to travel to these conflict zones and rural communities. Leaving a colourful trace, her has a feeling of accessibility as she visually translates her story, and that of others. Brissonnet’s work exists as an imprint of change and inspiration for places she feels need it the most."
