Artist Spotlight with Chip Freund
Artist Spotlight: Dan Campbell
Although it can sound a bit trite when someone says they have a real passion for something, Dan really does have a burning desire to capture on a canvas the things in our lives that make us feel more ALIVE. Art has a way of making us slow down long enough to see and even experience something beautiful or poignant or precious about life. He literally can’t wait to put paint (and a bit of his soul) on the canvas and for the next creative idea to materialize!
Dan was attracted to art from an early age, inspired by the dramatic and colorful drawings in the comic books I collected (he especially loved The Flash and Batman). As a kid, Dan mowed yards so that he could buy my next comic book. That led him to drawing and painting. Dan started college as an art major and then moved into business and marketing. Fortunately for him, after a successful business career (largely in the health and fitness industry), Dan found his way back to doing what he love…creating art!
