Daniella studied Fine Art and History of Art at Guildford High where her passion for Italian Renaissance Art, religiosity and spiritualism blossomed. She achieved a Diploma in Fine Art at the University of the Arts London, where she developed considerably her oil painting skills. She then lived in Florence, Italy, where she studied at the Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci, achieving diplomas in Italian language and studying the Renaissance masters. She returned to London to achieve her BA in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
Daniella’s grandfather Dr Ciro Vecchione, an engineer and philosopher of the Catholic Church, enlightened her with the notion of the Creation, our ‘being’ and our earthly existence that’s connected with a higher or invisible God. She questions: Is the world a masterpiece created and designed by an advanced entity? How can this be explored? Daniella also aligns this perspective with scientific empiricism. Her father Dr Deryk Williams, a medical doctor would counteract the notion of Creation and encouraged ‘logical’ answers through mathematical and scientific exploration. This led to Daniella’s exploration in to the links between religious belief systems of ‘other realms’ and ‘higher beings’ and physical temples of worship such as temples, churches and stone circles.

Daniella’s Italian, Spanish, Irish and Jewish heritage has exposed her to many types of religiosity and diverse cultural beliefs. Ancient healing techniques, life after death, soul reincarnation, teleportation, time travel, portals, black holes, time/space/reality, fractals in nature, ley lines, sound healing and ancient monolithic sites all play important roles in her work.
Her current collection of paintings display her obsession with the cosmos, organic matter, and the fluidity of forms. Life, as we see it and exist in it, is totally interconnected, atomically, vibrationally, and psychologically. She calls this ‘Cosmosis’.
