Paintings By Danny Grant

Danny Grant was born and raised in north Texas. He received a BFA in illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2003. At the Academy, Danny was most influenced by instructors Lee Ballard and Kazuhiko Sano for their superb draftsmanship and fine art approach to illustration. 

Upon graduating, Danny relentlessly sought to improve his skills while developing his visual and thematic aesthetic. His dedication led him to discover the work of artist Jacob Collins and other contemporary masters. In 2006, Danny moved to New York to study with Collins at his Water Street Atelier and later at the Grand Central Academy. There, he enjoyed a rigorous curriculum of cast drawing and painting, figure drawing and painting, sculpture, and still life study.

Danny’s paintings are about immortalizing and exploiting the beauty of a moment. His carefully crafted paintings are a study in the way light describes form, heightening the sense of realness in his work. He is currently making paintings and working as a fine art instructor in Austin, Texas.
