Danielle Mastrion is a Brooklyn-born, New York City based painter and muralist who specializes in large scale, brightly colored murals.
Danielle has been painting murals both locally & internationally since 2012. Her work has taken her to Europe, the Middle-East, Central America, South America, & the Caribbean. Her first aerosol mural painted in 2012 was at the historic 5POINTZ in Long Island City, Queens and she credits the institution & it's curator, Meres One, for having her pick up a spray can. She continuously paints in local and international mural festivals. In New York, Danielle has painted in the MOSA (Museum of Street Art) interior installation mural, curated by 5Pointz Creates; The Welling Court Mural Project in Astoria Queens, The Bushwick Collective, and many local mural projects. Her ‘Biggie’ mural is 12 years old and the longest running mural at The Bushwick Collective.
Danielle's mural work ranges from small walls to huge, large scale mural projects. Her largest wall to date was a 5-story project in Springfield, Ill at the brand new HUB Transportation Center; she also completed a 2250 sq foot "Welcome to Coney Island mural outside of the Stillwell Avenue Train Station, and an 1800 sq foot mural at Edward R Murrow High School. She also had the honor of painting an entire 4 sided building as the entrance mural for Shirley Chisholm State Park in Brooklyn in collaboration with the New York State Governors Office and the State Parks organization.
In 2019, Danielle was the cover artwork artist for the 30th Anniversary of Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing”, having painted several murals for the anniversary as well as the featured paintings inside of Criterion Collection’s DVD release. Her murals cover the outside of Spike Lee's 40 Acres & A Mule studio in Brooklyn, as well as several other locations throughout Brooklyn. She has worked with Spike lee for 6+ years on many other mural and sneaker collaborations, and her paintings were acquired as part of his personal art collection.
Her latest walls can be found throughout her home neighborhood, Coney Island Brooklyn. Danielle has completed over 15 murals in the neighborhood, having painted at the New York Aquarium, three walls inside of Luna Park NYC including the Cyclone Rollercoaster; Denos Wonder Wheel Park including the interior murals inside of the historic Spook-A-Rama ride, Coney Island USA, The Coney Island Brewery, Ruby's Bar & Grill, The Mermaid Parade, and several other local walls in the area. She has also worked with many other Brooklyn-based neighborhood organizations including The Atlantic Avenue BID, The Flatbush-Junction BID, The Coney Island Alliance,
Danielle's work has a focus on social justice, specifically Women's rights & youth education, as well as storytelling & history. Her community - driven murals showcase the history of a place, whether that's with portraits of local hero's, famous people from that neighborhood, landmarks, cityscapes, etc. Danielle believes it's her responsibility to connect with the communities she paints in and translate their story to the wall. She works with many schools, shelters, youth-based mentoring & teaching organizations such as NYC Thrive, Projectivity, Creative Artworks, Art Bridge & Art Start; as well as several conservation organizations including the WCS, the NY Aquarium, Global Landscapes Forum at Newtown Creek, The Audubon Society, several anti-gun violence organizations including Every Town USA. She continues to work as a teaching mural artist with student collaborators.
In 2019, Danielle was chosen by Next Level USA - a Hip-Hop focused teaching & mentorship program run by the State Department's Office Of Cultural Affairs through the Meridian Center to represent the USA as a Cultural Ambassador in Aerosol Art for Next Level USA 5.0 's international exchange program in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She was also a teaching artist/ mentor for Next Level USA's Global program in NYC. She participated in her second Next Level Residency in January 2024 in Paris, France, and continues to work as a teaching artist and cultural ambassador with Next Level Global.
She was also featured in Nike’s 30th Anniversary commercial for the Air Max 90 by Footlocker & Footlocker Women. She was part of a Netflix mural campaign for the series "Social Distance" in 2020, and worked with the Universal Hip Hop Museum and SoHo House on a Hip-Hop History mural donated to the UHHM in The Bronx. Her work has been featured in the A&E channel's "In Focus" artist series; the 'No Free Walls" documentary, the award winning "Street Heroines" documentary.
Last year, Danielle was invited to and honored in Washington DC for her aerosol work by the First Lady, and her NYC-themed canvas is the only aerosol piece ever hung in the White House. Danielle was asked to display 15 pieces about New York City for the 100th Annual First Lady's Luncheon and presented a piece representing New York to First Lady Jill Biden which is now part of her personal collection.
Danielle is a classically trained oil painter who took her brush skills and taught herself to translate her work to aerosol. Her canvas work showcases the disappearing aspects of the city, focusing on cityscapes and street relics, as well as portraiture. She received her BFA from Parsons School of Design. Danielle has a background in Live Painting, having painted with Art Battles & The Collage Movement. Her live painting experience for Art Battles has taken her to international Battles in Warsaw, Poland and Paris, France.
Danielle currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, & is looking to continue painting walls & canvases in every city she visits, hoping to connect communities through art & education, but always having sand in her shoes at home in Coney Island.
