She works within an image-based practice utilizing analog processing methods to explore human experiences of intrinsic longing, personal histories, and coexistence to the natural world. Currently serving as a Studio Assistant for the Detroit Institute of Arts, Dani is an active member of the artistic community, participating in collaborative projects, workshops, and interactive education. Outside of her artistic practice, Dani is an avid explorer and storyteller, sharing her journey and creative process on Instagram (@danifhughes) and through her online portfolio (danifhughes.myportfolio.com).
