Smiling Upon Us

I've always wanted to do a piece where I could show the joy Jesus felt when He was with us. I feel that in this instance His joy is because He is with childlren, because He seems to be gazing downwards.

“I want to paint images speak to and uplift the viewer, pieces that remind them of the beauties of life, the reasons for living and loving existence. Vibrant colors and brush strokes working together with the disciplines of art to create beauty and emotion you can’t achieve in any other way.” Dan is an award-winning fine artist from Lehi Utah. As a young boy Dan dove deep into art, always known as “that kid that doodles on everything”. After serving an LDS mission those artistic passions grew as he painted full time for his Major at UVU. After graduation he was taken under the wing of his mentor William Whitaker, who pushed him hard to improve his skills. Dan paints and teaches out of his home studio where he is supported by his beautiful wife and six children.
