Danielle Hurst Brown of Weaves Shoots and Leaves is an Earth-worker, Nature Alchemist, and a life-long Animist who is committed to living in greater communion and connection with her other-than-human kin and community. An avid co-creator with Mother Earth and her many facets, Dani draws inspiration for her art and weavings from the land and its carnival of inhabitants, as well as from life’s ever-spinning wheel of seasons and cycles. As a lover of wild spaces and a passionate grower, Dani has an ongoing relationship with our Green Ancestors and is well-versed in the tasks of tending, caring for, and harvesting them with respect and reverence.
