When Danni Shinya Luo was living in China as a little kid, she was always doodling in her text books and imitating drawings from her favorite Manga pages. After she came to the US at a young age, she started taking weekend art classes and eventually got a 4 year apprenticeship with an well know Chinese-American watercolor master, Ding Ha. Danni then went on to study in Art Center Colleges of Design, and graduated as an Honor Roll among her classes.
Danni Shinya Luo's paintings have been in numerous exhibitions in the US and oversea. La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles is her main representing gallery. Besides her establishment in the pop surrealism field, Danni has been active in other creative fields as well. She has done works for many different places including: Hasbro Inc., MGA Entertainment, Nickelodeon Virtual Worlds, Marvel Comics, Zenescope Comics, and more.

Danni's 3rd book Un Petit Catalogue was self-published as limited 500 editions. It's a larger format soft cover with a collection of paintings and drawings.
