Danielle Leigh McKinney-Elmore (D.L.) is a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator living and working in Kodak, TN.
Her style is inspired by her love of birding, nature, and traditional detailed wildlife and botanical illustrations. She layers delicate line work in watercolor, gouache and ink to create lush florals and striking specimens.
When she is not drawing or painting, Danielle can be found birding or hiking around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, reading poetry or historical non-fiction books, or enjoying horror films with her partner Christopher and their senior American Eskimo rescue dog, Ellie.
