Danél has a rich history with arts and music. She just completed her Honours Bachelor's degree in Musicology with the University of South Africa (UNISA). This taught her that she enjoys research and history. Without applying, she managed to obtain a full bursary from the Hillensburg Trust and continues to grow her music skills whilst practicing fine oil painting in her free time. She has an off-site hobby and job as manager at a hotel in Lady Grey and also manages all their bookkeeping, correspondence, orders and financials. Danél is inspired by nature and vibrant colours which is reflected in her creations. She is looking to relocate to a country other than South Africa to learn more about the rich history of the world and broaden her views.
