Dan’s love of travel provides him with opportunities to paint the scenery and people of French villages, Tuscan hillsides, and the dramatic Lake Michigan coastline and it’s quiet interior.

Dan maintains studios in Traverse City and the coastal village of Empire, Michigan, where he paints, sculpts, and restores antique oil paintings.
