A self taught artist, Dan has established a reputation within the NT and nationally as an innovative sculptor and highly regarded artist. Dan produces works of small-scale as well as major collector’s pieces and commissions. His works constructed from found metallic materials including fencing wire, roofing iron and old car panels have a distinctive Territory feel. His exhibitions have been highly successful. Over the years, Dan has participated in a number of community arts projects in remote communities and in Alice Springs. These include, facilitating small scale bush toys in Santa Teresa as part of the Fencing Shed Project, constructing a monumental 18 meter long metal caterpillar at the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct and as co-coordinator of the long running Alice to Mparntwe Sacred Sites Tours for artists.
