✨ No Glitter-Filled Floaties: If it pops, thousands of microplastics pollute the water. Help us keep the river glitter-free!
📏 Max 3 Meters: Giant floaties can block the river, create hazards, and can easily pop. Smaller floaties are recommended.
🎒 Pack it Out: Do not leave floaties, chairs, or pop-up tents on the river overnight. If you pack it in, pack it out everyday!Let’s all do our part to protect the river we love 💚

From an early age, her artistic path was clear—by seven, she was already winning art competitions, and by eleven, selling her work.

Danielle’s past projects include Myco Wisdom, an art and education initiative exploring the world of fungi; Prosthetic Reality, the world’s first augmented reality art book; and The Antipodes Project, a collaborative drawing featuring over thirty international artists.
Her work has been exhibited across four continents and is collected worldwide. She has shown at AveArtSpace for Miami Art Basel, galleries throughout Canada, the United States, Australia, Leeds City Museum in the United Kingdom and Leonora Carrington Museum in Mexico.
