Welcome to Houseof Hauntiques
I’m Danielle, the creative spirit behind this gallery where art and a lifelong obsession with the dark and mysterious converge. I breathe new life into thrift store relics, crafting modern Memento Mori that delve into the abyss of human nature, all with a hint of twisted whimsy.
Each piece undergoes meticulous craftsmanship, transforming from raw material into chilling creations, evoking a spirit of curiosity, fear, and an oddly charming nostalgia. These beings hold tales of mystery and terror, sharing their haunting stories with the curious, inviting them into a realm where the line between reality and supernatural blurs and shadows comes to life. They are visions from my nightmares, handcrafted for you, ready to infuse your space with the same eerie enchantment that inflames my imagination.
When I’m not lost in the depths of my shadowy lair (a.k.a. small basement studio), you can find me tending to my garden, embracing the beauty and peace of nature, getting lost in the pages of a good book, or wandering the aisles of a second-hand store in search of forgotten treasure. My family, including my devoted husband, three spirited children, and two loyal dogs, are a heartwarming counterbalance to the darkness of my creative subjects, infusing my life with both inspiration and a welcome dose of play, joy, and light.
From the bottom of my spooky little heart, I am thrilled to bring the darkness to kindred spirits and fellow lovers of the macabre.
