Equally adept at figurative,
still-life and landscape, Dan Beck is an award winning
artist and sought after teacher. His paintings have
found collectors in both the private and corporate world
on a national level as well as from such diverse places
as Canada , Japan and the Middle East . Dan's work has
also been featured in "Southwest Art", "Art of the West"
magazines and "Art Talk".
In the decade following
his graduation from high school, Dan worked jobs that
included ranch-hand in Arizona , construction on the
beach of Florida , refinishing furniture in Louisiana
and four years in the infantry. Those wanderlust years
gave Dan a deep understanding of human nature that is
reflected in his figurative works. His love of nature
and respect for the tradition of art serve as both guide
and inspiration to his goal of "making a contribution"
to the world of painting. Dan's paintings evoke a
timelessness and dignity that are the underlying themes
in whatever he paints.
Dan's continual studies of the masters as well as
classes and workshops with artists such as Ramon Kelley,
Richard Schmid, Ron Hicks, Quang Ho, Carolyn Anderson
and Mark Daily are the keystones to Dan's development as
an artist.
Dan now lives in Lakewood , Colorado with his wife and
two daughters. |
