Dani Kump

Dani Kump is a Phoenix-based painter whose work explores memory, perception, and the passage of time. Her process begins with instinctive, gestural underpaintings made in a meditative flow state. These are set aside for months or years before being revisited and reinterpreted through structured overlays—often grids or repeated forms inspired by textile traditions.

Influenced by weaving’s logic and rhythm, Kump layers intuition with order, creating visual records of transformation over time. She studied Religious Studies at Boston University and has been painting professionally since 2005. Her practice is deeply informed by research, reflection, and the quiet rituals of daily life.
