Power Within

Danielle B Latta's (Running Duck Studio) life experiences have influenced her artistic expression, while her skill and style has been shaped by drawing for Walt Disney.

In 2012, Danielle's partner was involved in a motorbike accident, causing neck, spine and brain damage. Being an integral part of their ongoing support and recovery, she has seen both sides of the hidden struggle and pain; a lack of visible injuries often causing unsympathetic reactions. 

Danielle's journey is shown throughout drawings, subconsciously expressing her own struggles. Her artwork has become more lighthearted and uplifting over time, illustrating the small but special moments that can be found in everybody's lives. This was an almost involuntary decision to bring balance once again to life.

In the darkest moments,
strength does not announce itself -
it settles,
it watches,
it endures.
There is a quiet power here.
Not just survival,
but a beauty that emerges from holding firm
when everything else gives way.
A strength we are each called to find for ourselves
encompasses the beauty that come from strength. 
A strength that we all need to find for ourselves.
