Danziger's recent series of sculptures, referred to as Mythic Landscapes, evokes mysterious and poetic worlds. They are imaginative inventions that draw upon her fascination with dream imagery and metamorphosis. As in October Gathering, Danziger's quiet forest settings are inhabited by unusual combinations of animals and people. The way in which she juxtaposes the forms and her dynamic use of scale adds to the impact of these magical and narrative landscapes. The artist has stated that this interplay between spirit and human form has influenced her work for many years. October Gathering was recently cast in bronze at the Johnson Atelier. The original mixed media work was included in The Sculptors Guild group show held at Grounds For Sculpture in the summer of 1999.

Danziger received a B.F.A. from Cornell University and also studied at the Art Students League in New York City and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Italy. She is a resident of Washington, D.C. Her highly original artwork has been shown at museums and commercial galleries in California, Florida, Texas, New York, and many other states. Local venues include the Morris Museum, Rutgers University, and the New Jersey State Museum. She is represented in collections at the New Orleans Museum of Art; the National Museum of American Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.; and the Susquehanna Art Museum, Harrisburg, for example, plus other public and private collections.
