dani is excited to support folks one-on-one through creative projects such as writing a book, creating a body of art, applying for shows/publications, etc.

We are edge tenders, vessel makers, question shapers, flame kindlers, and co-inquirers.
We support people, artists and non-artists, by facilitating a creative process that encourages contact with deep, post-rational modes of knowing.
We make art as a way of increasing our tolerance, resilience, and coherence with life in these challenging times.
We are cultivating Conspire Studio as a seed of something we ourselves long for in our community: a house of creative inquiry, where we work from a supposition that it’s at the strange edges and in-between spaces of our thoughts, our feelings, and our sensate creativity that new perceptions, and therefore new actions, emerge.
At Conspire, we follow pleasure, string old words into strange new questions, explore relationships upside down, drift, dismantle (and sometimes re-mantle) things, and allow dissolution and destruction into our process.
We work right alongside you. Every creative session we facilitate, we also fully participate in.
