Dani Samson is a contemporary mixed media artist based in Los Angeles, California. She creates abstract work using a wide range of materials, including paper, fabric, found objects, scrapped artwork, paint, ink, graphite, charcoal, and wax pastel. Her textured, layered approach reflects an interest in presence and perception, exploring how mental and emotional states shape the way we experience everyday life.

She studied psychology and studio art at The Ohio State University before earning an MFA from the Columbus College of Art & Design. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in group exhibitions, including presentations at Beeler Gallery (Columbus, OH), Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), and the Helms Design Center (Los Angeles, CA). In addition to her independent studio practice, Samson has dedicated much of her career to arts education and administration, working to foster creative access and community engagement.
