ABOUT THE ARTIST: Daniel J. Keys was born in 1985, in Fresno, CA. Upon noticing a glimpse of artistic talent in him at an early age, Daniel was encouraged by his parents to pursue his passion, namely painting; and being entirely home educated, time was very permitting for him to develop his skills as a self-taught artist. He started painting at the age of 11 using a paint set purchased with birthday money. It was during these formative years that Daniel discovered the work of master artist Richard Schmid, and began emulating Schmid’s style in his own paintings. Since that time, Daniel had the opportunity to paint with his mentor, and Mr. Schmid became an art adviser to him. Daniel’s work is now praised and collected by many prominent art enthusiasts from around the country. He is represented by several major art galleries and continues to teach workshops around the country, including Scottsdale Artists’ School.
