After completing Secondary School he moved to Baffin Island where he continued to sketch and paint. It was here that he was influenced by the landscape and the way he looked at nature.  

Dan went on to enter the Ontario College of Art and later received instruction in the art of illustration at Sheridan College. His training as an illustrator has given him a solid foundation for his art. The same thing that goes into a successful illustration, goes into a successful painting.  

Finishing college he went into the field of advertising and was employed as an Art Director and Illustrator, but continued to pursue the fine art of landscape painting. Dan now resides in Toronto, Canada and paints full time.  

Dan's paintings can be found in private homes, galleries and corporations throughout North America. Dan is also available for commissioned work.
