Daniel Meister

A worker uses their hands.
A craftsperson uses their hands and their head.
An artist uses their hands, their head, and their heart.
— Appalachian Saying.

After a lifetime of working as an illustrator, graphic artist, and animator, I am no longer limited to someone else's specs, deadlines, or requirements.

I am embarking on a series of drawings of ponds of the Pine Barrens, a unique ecosystem that exists in only two places in the world. But I will not be limited as a landscape artist and have other work to do.

I'm in it for the long haul, or until they pull that pencil from my cold, dead hands.
