Daniel A. Brown (born 1950) grew up in New York City along “Museum Alley” where he prowled the Impressionist and Hudson River School galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When he was fourteen, he viewed Vincent Van Gogh’s immortal “Starry Night.” A year later he began to paint vivid oil canvases which contained bold colors, mountains and vast open spaces.
At age twenty, he moved to western Massachusetts where he spent the next forty-four years of his life involved with teaching, mentoring, writing and photography.
In 1999, Brown began the second stage of his artistic career which featured solo shows in New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C. and other locales in the Northeast. In 2001-2002, he was an artist-mentor with the New Hampshire Allstate Art Festival, a program connecting professional artists with gifted high school art students from across New Hampshire. Sponsored by the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, NH, it is one of only two such programs in the United States.
In 2006, Brown and his wife, Lisa, spent their honeymoon in Taos, New Mexico and, like so many eastern artists before him, was smitten by the light, color and energy of the area. After only three days, he was accepted into the “Art Divas” gallery which catered to “Women artists and a few good men” before closing in 2009. In 2014, Brown and Lisa left Massachusetts for good and settled in Arroyo Seco.
The contemporary Lakota mystic, John Fire Lame Deer once observed that "Artists are the Indians of the white world.” They were the visionaries who, contrary to the norms of their society, could access and reflect the spiritual realms. Brown’s paintings fulfill his vision of what the beauty of the world, as well as the beauty of Spirit, can give to us all. He is currently represented by the Ranch at Taos Gallery in Taos.
