Danielle Andrukitis: Hey everyone. I'll be taking a hiatus for a few months. I have been in need of a kidney transplant for 4 years, and I got one early this morning. Taking this time to recover and heal. Talk to you all soon.

Danielle Andrukitis: So, we're now two weeks into the new year. How's everyone doing with their New Year's resolutions? My resolution was to be less cluttered. It's a work in progress. Haha

My name is Danielle Andrukitis. I am 28 years old and I enjoy creating art that makes people feel happy. I usually lean toward pieces that have a focus on nature, because I believe it shows the beauty we take for granted in this world.
I have enjoyed art since I was in high school. However, it wasnt until I became very sick about four years ago that I really allowed my talent to flourish. I abruptly fell ill with a severe case of lupus. I was in the ICU for almost a month, and lost nearly all of my kidney function. I am currently umdergoing 9 hours of peritoneal dialysis every night at home, and I am on the kidney transplant list, waiting for a kidney. This has all been life changing for me, but through it, I have grown stronger. Art has provided me with a much needed outlet. Art, along with my beautiful daughter and my loving husband, have pulled me through some of the worst days of my life. I thank God that I am here today and I strive to never again take my skills for granted.
