“Dan encourages problem solving and inspires students to seek new challenges. He has remarkable patience and a fine sense of humor. Studying with Dan has been exhilarating because he has helped me discover the possibilities and pleasures of painting.”
–Joan Hershbell

“Dan continues to help us grow as artists. He provides us with individual consultations when we are unsure of our next step or a work is not developing as we had hoped. When he sees a need, he provides us with a mini-lesson or a demonstration on art theory or technique. ”
–Rosemary Ruffenach
