Painter Danyelle Yoder

On this episode of The Creative Middle Riot, we spoke with Painter Danyelle Yoder who, at the time, was prepping for her very first solo art show at The Garden.  Danyelle shared her creative development story of being born in Germany and then raised in Indiana.  Even though she received constant praise for her drawings she ultimately chose to study interior design.   Later realizing that passion could not be so easily ignored she pursued a fine art education. Her expressive portraits convey a sense of purpose and destiny as if the subjects have risen from turmoil and gained an unshakeable determination.  Danyelle graduated from Milan Art Institute Mastery Program in September 2021 and shows her work throughout Indiana and surrounding areas.  You can find her at DanyelleYoder.com as well as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
