The Artist

Greetings!

I'm Daniel (he/him). I make art about love, connection, and the alchemical process our spirits go through as they travel the latticework of creation. Whether I am perceiving deeply for a portrait commission, or exploring emotional narratives through esoteric imagery, I am always seeking to tie threads of emotion into a greater story.

I grew up on the occupied lands of the Ohlone people in what is commonly known as the California Bay Area, where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California College of the Arts. I currently reside on the occupied lands of the Neshnibek in Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish, commonly known as Kalamazoo, Michigan, with my main loves, my forever partner and our daughter.

It is important to me that I use my creative voice to connect with other folks looking to make change in this world. My perspective and stories are ever shifting and growing. They exist alongside the pain and healing of many others whose voices I want to uplift and strengthen within the tapestry of the world's story. I love collaborating with other magic and justice-minded folks. Please feel free to get in touch if you might have a project for me.
