Daisy Love

Daisy Love (aka Dazzle) is an OG PlayThinker. She has been attending since she was 12 years old, when the festival first began. PlayThink has been a shaping force in her life, and she holds insurmountable love for this community. Daisy is a multidimensional artist from Berea, KY. Her love for hoop dance brought her to PlayThink when she was a little girl. She loves to perform, teach, and dance with fire and LEDs with her hula hoops.


Her art expands beyond flow. Daisy creates interactive kinetic sculptures, such as Ripple, her 18-bike-wheel installation made from welded steel and recycled bicycle parts. She also LOVES to adorn people in one-of-a-kind macramé costume pieces and wearable art crafted from recycled bike tubing and found materials. Daisy is the creator and owner of Freakuency Art, a growing business that holds her artistic offerings. Through Freakuency Art, she shares reminders — art that we can wear or place in our space that resonates with the soul. She believes these reminders can help us embody who we want to be and come more fully alive.

This practice invites playful experimentation, helping participants break out of habitual patterns, unlock creative transitions, and discover new movement possibilities.
