Dani Mackey is a Calgary-based artist whose work is deeply influenced by the mediums she chooses to work in. With nearly two decades of professional experience, she has honed her craft in acrylic, watercolour, and graphite, exploring the unique characteristics of each medium. Her work is a reflection of her passions: the landscapes surrounding her hometown, the inspiration drawn from her travels, and, most notably, the many dogs she meets along the way.
​
Known for her vibrant use of colour, her paintings feature bold, expressive hues that conveys a sense of life and energy. In contrast, her animal portraits, particularly those of dogs, are rendered in delicate graphite on birch, showcasing her mastery of detail and her deep affection for these loyal companions.

Dani continues to push the boundaries of her art, drawing from the world around her to create pieces that are as personal as they are universally relatable.
