Dan Knepper

Dan Knepper was inspired from an early age. His mom painted pastoral murals on his bedroom walls and Disney scenes on his window shades. He grew up exploring the woods at the edge of his yard, and the impressions of those moments of sunlight illuminating the trees and rippling on water can still be felt in his work. 

Dan went to college to study glassblowing, and that, too, had a profound effect on his painting. Hot glass has a light of its own. It glows from within, and passes through dramatic changes of transparent color as it cools. He views the world through that lens of transparent colors and sparkling chips of colored glass, and tries to reflect that in his work as he elegantly tells the story of quiet, timeless places.

Dan's work has been in Fine Art Connoisseur, American Art Collector, Western Art Collector, Western Art and Architecture, Watercolor Magazine, The Artist's Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, Airstream Life Magazine, on the cover of Of Rust and Glass Magazine, etc. He is represented by galleries coast to coast and his work hangs in collections across the country.
