WITH MUSE DANIELLE FORTIN

“…I have been lucky enough to have had Danielle Fortin in my life for many years now, counting her as one of my most dearest of friends and trusted collaborators. A muse in the truest sense of the word, Dani glows with joie de vivre, continually inspiring me in more ways than I can count. Having spent the better part of her childhood living between Maine and Boston, she has a strong sense of self and family, informing everything from her perspective on life, to her approach to well-being.

What is obvious from the moment you meet Dani is that she is a woman who believes: in herself, in expressing strength through femininity, in understanding and creating success through her voice and the voices of those women who build her. She has special qualities that rarely come together in a single individual. Her intelligence, beauty, tom-boy style, her wit, her spirit – all interwoven with an innate, effortless international flare – bring life to everything she does in reflections of her mother.

Dani effortlessly brings forth sweet, dreamy and sultry breaths of the Provencal spirit to this collection, and the authenticity of her transformation in each piece fuels me thru the photographs we created together. I feel as if I’ve come full circle as an artist. To let my muse drape herself in silhouettes she chose to live in. Reuniting with a friend who grows and challenges you in more ways than one can imagine is sacred. I can only wish that each artist can spend this quality time with their muses, as I’m so fortunate to have.”
