Dan is a lifetime resident of Arkansas living in the small town of Gurdon. As a child he always loved to draw people, places and things - both real and imaginary. As an adult, art got put on the back burner as college, career, and family took priority. In 2007, Dan rediscovered his love for art, and began drawing again, and eventually experimented with painting in acrylic s and oils and has been hooked ever since. Since that time, he has shown in several exhibitions, and has works in private collections in several states. A deep love for all art has led him to experiment with other mediums and subject matter.

Utilizing a background in Computer Information Systems, Dan maintains his own website with an online gallery of many of his original paintings, as well as a calendar of upcoming shows and exhibits. When work and website maintenance allow free time, Dan can be found in his studio at his house surrounded by family and numerous pets. For Dan, subject matter covers many categories - simple still life settings, beautiful sunsets, local wildlife, florals, and cherished portraits. Dan divides his time between painting commissioned paintings and creating new works straight from the heart. After all, it's not only about what you SEE in a painting, it's also about what you FEEL in a painting!
