Daniel Jenkins

Artist Daniel Jenkins creates pieces that combine figure work and abstraction. Purposely setting out to merge polar opposites together Daniel has a unique and distinct style that he has consistently produced. Shortly after finishing art school Daniel began having vision problems and after multiple tests and doctor visits he found out he had a brain tumor putting pressure on his optics nerves and causing him to slowly go blind. After a successful brain surgery the tumor was removed and Daniel's eyesight was fully restored. Taking this as a sign to not neglect his talents Daniel set out on a task of doing one full piece of art everyday for an entire year straight. This endeavor led him to eventually merge his classically trained figurative work with his love for abstraction and abstract expressionism- allowing him to combine his schooling with his life experience.
