Daniel Nolan

As an artist, my primary goal is to engage others—whether through the creative process or as viewers—inviting them to experience life in a new way and to see the world from a different perspective. My current exploration centers on emotional expressionism and humanistic forms, where I harness recycled and upcycled materials, such as discarded latex house paint and paper from retail catalogs and magazines. This work is part of my ongoing commitment to creating contemporary, "green" art that not only reflects my emotional journey but also promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness. Through this practice, I aim to foster a deeper connection between the artwork and its audience.
