Hello! I’m Danaé, a passionate artist from Canada, currently traveling to create an installation at Meow Wolf. I believe that art has the power to connect us all, and I love to share stories and experiences through my work.

I specialize in puppetry and love conducting workshops with kids, where we explore creativity and imagination together. Traveling around the world, I’ve found inspiration in the vibrant cultures and unique stories I encounter. I’m excited to meet new friends along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m seeking a calm and welcoming space where I can recharge while working on my art. I’d love to share stories over a cup of tea, learn about your local culture, and explore Santa Fe together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in music that spans various genres, from indie folk to world music. I love the blues, especially the works of Alan Lomax, and I’m also a fan of classical jazz. Reggaeton, salsa, and hip hop are my go-to vibes depending on my mood. Tom Waits and Fleetwood Mac are always on my playlist. When it comes to films, I adore the works of Terry Gilliam and the unique storytelling of filmmakers like jan stank Mayer and Almodóvar. favorite book all the book of Octavia butler loooove science fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One Amazing Thing I've Done
One of my most memorable experiences was creating a giant puppet that animated an entire building for my 30th birthday. It was a truly magical project where the building itself became part of the puppet, and I felt immense pride in bringing that vision to life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach! I can share my skills in puppetry and painting, along with insights about connecting with others and the joys of traveling. I’m always eager to learn from different cultures and experiences as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy engaging conversations about art careers, travel tips, and sharing my passion for playing board games. I believe that every exchange is an opportunity to connect and learn from one another.
