Danielle Nelisse, Neighbor

Danielle Nelisse is an attorney, private investigator, and artist. After graduating from SDSU and California Western School of Law, the Detroit born artist was trained by master level artists to take risks with her art by using unpredictable colors and broad gestural lines. Transitioning from one career to another has not been easy, but she finds ways to balance the business side of things with her creative side.

Known for her adventurous spirit both in life and on the canvas, her paintings are full of light, color and pizzazz. “I create artwork in the form of abstraction because it condenses everything down to the basics: color, shape, line, texture and soul, not unlike a chef who cooks a simple yet decadent dish or a musician who plays a lovely acoustic rendition of a song,” says Danielle Nelisse.
