BIO

   Danielle Erin Rhodes discovered her passion for painting in 2023 when a sprig of rosemary, leftover paint, and an unused canvas unexpectedly became her first artistic tools. Just three years later, she has created over 150 works, with many on display nationwide.

   Her paintings have been featured at Studio 34’s Intertwined Artist Festival, Bar Dahlia’s Brick Wall Gallery, and Verdi NYC in Chelsea. Her works are currently on display at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church and Theatre in Times Square and Chris Wade Music Productions (CWMP) headquarters in Los Angeles. Recently, she placed third in the 2026 “Johnny Depp Presents: The People’s Artist Competition.”

   Equally at home on the stage, Danielle is an award-winning singer and a proud 20-year member of Actors’ Equity Association.  She won the 2021 International Singer-Songwriter Association award for her performance of “Bluesy” by Charu Suri, with whom she performs regularly at Carnegie Hall and venues around the country.  Her notable theatrical credits include Fantine in Les Misérables and Rizzo in the European tour of Grease.  Her piano skills have also been featured onstage in productions such as Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story (as Vi Petty) and the two-person, one-piano musical comedy Murder for Two. She also serves as Senior Executive Advising Music Director for CWMP.

   Whether wielding a paintbrush, a microphone, a piano, or even a sprig of rosemary, her goal is always the same: to heal people through art and music, just as they continue to heal her.
