Dan Brenton

My name is Dan Brenton, a New England-based artist creating work inspired by nature.  My drawings and paintings feature a man and a dog on a never-ending journey as a way to explore the spiritual connection between the landscape and the creatures wandering through it.  I hope my work encourages the viewer to look at their own relationship with Mother Nature and find ways to be closer with her.  Feel free to read my full bio and artist statement and check out my full gallery.

‘Dan Makes Art’ has been my way of identifying myself on social media but, I’m happy to be on Patreon to offer membership to the ‘Dan Mails Art Club’!  For years I’ve enjoyed using the post office to send art all around the world.  I feel like I’m partaking in a very old tradition by carrying envelopes and packages into these often historic buildings and handing them off to the clerk to be delivered no matter the conditions.  With the 'Dan Mails Art Club’, I want to continue this tradition while encouraging others to do the same!  Every month, you’ll receive a blank postcard in your mailbox designed with one of my paintings.  You’ll have a little space on the back to write a note to a loved one, friend, family member, stranger, enemy, etc…The purpose is to make connections (especially important during this time of social distancing and isolation) as well as support the USPS (which has unfortunately been neglected and stretched thin during the pandemic).Plus, who doesn’t enjoy receiving a nice personalized piece of mail??
