About Daniel

Daniel Bear paints contemporary landscapes, wildlife, and portraits. Much of his landscape work is textured oil on raw wood, with glazes that glow and bright color set against natural wood grain. He also paints on linen and canvas, including the Through Time portrait series, draws in charcoal, and paints in watercolor.

Born in 1989 in Powell, Wyoming, a small farming town, Daniel studied at Northwest College, then earned a bachelor's degree in Art Education, K through 12, at the University of Wyoming. He painted in Newark, Delaware, and taught elementary art in Carbon County, Utah through the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program.

After several years building businesses in real estate, Daniel is returning to painting. His new studio is Studio 206 at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture in Bozeman, Montana.
