After graduating College in 1974, I started my work life by doing pre-press graphics, paste-up, process photography and screen printing including working on site doing display graphics.. Through those years I sketched to try and keep up my line, but did nothing serious

with my personal artwork. 

That all changed in 1987 when I joined Artist 25, in Toronto and I took up life drawing again with a vigor. Rediscovering this love of drawing a live model became a  passion in  my life. My medias were Conte, Pencil, Charcoal, and Watercolour.

By the mid nineties, I yearned for to paint again as I had done in my teenage years and started long poses done on over a 3 week period. Eventually I moved into Street Scenes and the occasional Plein Air.

After retiring in 2014, I reveled in the freedom to paint full time. Today most of my work is of People, Landscapes, Cityscapes and Non-representational paintings.

We live on Lake Ontario in Rural Ontario and our amazing surroundings offers an abundance of  subjects and inspiration.

Since his teenage years, Daniel has painted in a multiple of mediums including Oil on Board,

Oil on Canvas, Watercolour and Clay.

His working years were consumed with Silk Screen Printing, in which he considers himself a Master Screen Printer, after 40 years in the business.

Design and Graphic Design have never been too far from his heart and his preferred programs are Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

In College he studied, Photography, Design, The Psychology of Design, Life Drawing,

Print Making and Graphic Design.

Today, with years of experience designing and running his business and personal websites, he now donates his time to runs the website at the Co-op Gallery he belongs to in Belleville Ontario, Canada,  www.gallery121artists.com, volunteering at the Baxter Arts Centre and Quinte Arts Council.
