Previously concentrating her creative career in the professional realms of art therapy – whereby she’d routinely work alongside people of all ages to help them achieve their personal goals through the exposure to, and facilitation of art – the hugely popular and much-collected contemporary floral artist, Danielle O’Connor Akiyama eventually bode farewell to that aspect of her life and times in recent years, so as to dedicate herself solely to her own art as a calling.

Having said that, O’Connor Akiyama has a lot to thank her grounding in art therapy for, and the transferable psychological skillset she required has proven priceless as she has steadily adapted to her chosen vocation. ‘Beauty Reborn II’ marks the best-selling O’Connor Akiyama’s return to the contemporary floral art arena this Spring 2015, as part of her equally new ‘Shine’ collection, and we’re pleased to welcome her back to the fold. This limited edition, artist-signed floral study you witness hereabouts is embellished by the graphic manifestation of gold and silver leaf, and is then privy to a final glaze to afford the iteration its lustrous appearance.
