We are like moths to the neon flame…

About The Artist…

Dani Bonnet comes from neon roots in Las Vegas, her grandparents ran a commercial neon repair shop in Sin City which her father & uncle worked for. Growing up she was trained to spot neon signs with the potential for them to repair. She studied Biochemistry and graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2015, immediately after she moved to Los Angeles. She rediscovered her love of neon signage by driving through the streets of LA late at night. She became consumed with the thought of how neon signs were made and decided to seek out learning the craft. She received a tool box containing the remainder of her grandparent’s old neon bending equipment & started an apprenticeship to master the craft. 

After years of pursuit in the craft, Dani stands as a beacon of creativity, seamlessly melding her scientific background with the vivid artistry of neon. Her work resonates with a profound appreciation for the interplay of light and form, a testament to her deep-rooted passion and relentless pursuit of artistic mastery. Through her unique fusion of tradition and innovation, Dani's illuminations not only occupy physical spaces but also the hearts and minds of all who encounter her dazzling artistry
