J Danielle Wehunt

J “Danielle” Wehunt is a commercial photographer with over ten years of professional experience. During her travels around the country, she sought out a new passion that would satisfy her both cathartically and professionally. She devoted the entire year of 2016 to gain a thorough understanding of painting techniques and theory. Her years of lighting experience are evident in her attention to shadows and highlights, displaying a realistic style portrayed in her paintings. Danielle’s fascination with the bone structure, skin tones, and expression through hair, cosmetics, and clothing shows throughout her body of work. Her intense curiosity for color theory creates surprising yet satisfying color schemes.

Born and raised in Metro Atlanta, Danielle identifies as a proud progressive Southerner. She is a mama to two amazing girls, Violet and Emilie. She has lived in Southern California and Brooklyn, New York, but has made Marblehead, MA, her home for the past 8 years. A self-taught painter, she holds a degree in Commercial Photography from Gwinnett Technical College and attended Arizona State University for Cultural Anthropology. She works full-time as a Senior Marketing Coordinator for an AI training startup.

Danielle was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2023 and is currently trying to figure out how to juggle being a single mom, patient, and full-time breadwinner for her girls.
