Danny Frownfelter

Studio Member since 2011

Born in 1979, Danny Frownfelter continually maintains a zealous and independently driven art practice. Inspired by dramatic narratives, his subject matter often explores dichotomies of religion and the destructive forces of super villains. His flair for the theatrical is realized using high contrast, bold brushstrokes and subjects gazing directly at the viewer. Frownfelter’s sketching practice continues to thrive, and he consistently creates lush and detailed sketches prior to embarking on a final piece. His marks are frequently visible in finished works, offering clues about the enthusiasm of his making practice. Frownfelter is also a singer for the studio band, Van Go Go.

“Lots of people love my art. People look at my paint. Make me happy. Your art [is] supposed to make you happy. My life.”

“I am making art 6 years. My heart. It’s good and ticking.”
