June Daskalakis

June Daskalakis is a mixed media artist who was born and raised in NYC now living in Davis, California. Her art practice includes mixed media, fiber art sculpture, and assemblage. Working with a variety of mediums she blends nostalgia, fantasy, and surrealism to create visual narratives. Central to her aesthetic is paying homage to memories and the connections formed through storytelling. Films, dreams, literature, and random conversations fuel her imagination. “I’m guided by what sparks interest in me, ultimately influencing me as an artist. I value surrealist dreams for their poetic content, as documentation from a marvelous alternate world, whose symbolism fills me with delight and is a constant source of inspiration.”

Daskalakis is an artist in residence at ARTHOUSE on R in Sacramento, California. She regularly exhibits her work, which can be found in several private collections throughout the U.S. and abroad.
