"When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.”

- Jim Hodges

Volunteering with Backfence Society a non-profit art organization, Daniel helped elevate the importance of art/murals across the North San Diego area.

Now residing in Los Angeles, Daniel continues to draw inspiration from his own life while deeply exploring personal and vulnerable themes regarding the human experience. Working with Artchemist Daniel learned the importance of cross-collaboration and team work. He wouldn’t have been as successful in his transition in Los Angeles if it wasn’t for that. Through this experience, he’ll make sure to keep himself self-grounded and increase his artistry network.
