About Drift Thoery:
Born with a love for exploration and nature, Danielle Ferrantino is a Sarasota local mixed media artist whose work is deeply inspired by the natural world and her intimate connection to coastal and mountain environments.
Danielle began her journey by casting real nature onto palm tree bark nearly a decade ago, marking the beginning of her personal art brand “Driftheory”. Over the years she has refined her process by incorporating Resin as the main preservation medium to immortalize the delicate details of nature on canvas.
Each piece is a one of a kind creation that reflects the artist's deep reverence and gratitude for the landscapes she calls home, weaving geography and location into each creation.
