The Artist – Dan’s motto when working on art is to “GO BIG OR GO HOME”, creating larger scale works of art. Dan’s loves working with ceramics, often creating large handmade vases. His process of rolling coils, and building them up by hand, lends his works to take on unique and organic forms.

Dan has recently begun painting, where he also enjoys working on larger scales. He enjoys using acrylic paints on canvas and wood surfaces. Dan’s works often feature abstract designs, landscapes and other scenery, as well as people and animals. Dan appreciates the process of learning and experimenting with different painting and glazing techniques. Dan’s unique color application of mixing and layering makes his works bold, vibrant, and one-of-a kind.

Dan gets inspired by working alongside and learning from others, “I get inspiration from other artists, and enjoy collaborating with others to create artwork” states Dan. “Art gives me ideas; I get motivated through the process” states Dan
