Dan Dunn

Dan Dunn has made his living solely from his art since he was 19 years old. A graduate of Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, he has a background in painting, illustration, design and caricature spanning over 30 years. It all started with caricatures. When he began his career as a professional artist, Dan would draw at over 200 events per year – and anywhere from 12 to 20 people per hour for events. This was his Karate Kid, “Wax on, wax off” ninja training. Yeah… he can draw a face pretty fast! After many years as a caricaturist and illustrator, Dan was inspired by the work of the late, great, original speed painter, Denny Dent. Dan rented a storage warehouse, draped it in plastic and started throwing paint around. He rehearsed for 9 months before he had his first show – a stunning performance in Atlantic City that brought international attention to the classically trained painter. Since beginning this amazing journey, Dan’s been painting and performing on stages and screens around the world with superstars like Taylor Swift, Jay Leno and Queen Latifah to name a few!
