Danny McCaw

Danny McCaw is the youngest son of American expressionist Dan McCaw, and the brother of abstract painter John McCaw. Danny began drawing and painting at an early age. His youthful images soon developed into mature sensitive individual statements. Danny's admiration for traditional art and its disciplines have been the foundation for his own art. His appreciation for the freedom, exploration and discovery of the Expressionists has showed him the importance of individuality and creativity.Besides the constant guidance of his father, Danny has studied art at El Camino College, and the Scottsdale Art School and with one of America's leading figurative painters, Steve Huston. Awarded the Wright Foundation Scholarship in 2002, Southwest Art Magazine featured Danny as one of the newest generation's emerging artist beginning to make their mark. Danny's search for his own individuality is of the utmost importance. His art is full of honesty, and creativity is constantly enriched by his inquisitive nature, his desire to find his own voice and his effort to create lasting art.

"Every artist is on their own individual journey. Mine is that of exploration and self-discovery. Crossing the lines of fear and frustration, I challenge, not only myself, but also my art. I never want to be confined or limited by any one specific way of approaching or thinking about art. My goal is to be able to take the things that move me and express them in my own voice, to give those things my emotion, my passion, my individuality"

"An artist must always strive to be part of his work. When this happens the painting becomes art. If I touch the viewer's emotions and heart, they then can enter the painting. Like the poet that moves us with words, a painting has the same power and magic."
