About the Artist
Painting is my passion.
Acrylic is my medium.
Dan Knighton is a Michigan-based acrylic painter whose work captures emotion, culture, and personal experience through abstract, modern, and portrait-based art. A self-taught artist with over 100 original paintings and commissions to date, Dan creates with passion and purpose, letting inspiration flow from everyday life—whether sparked by current events, personal stories, or visual media.
Without formal training, Dan has carved a space in the art world with a unique voice and a bold creative vision. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions and gallery showings, reflecting a commitment to both artistic freedom and connection with each viewer. Influenced by Andy Warhol and other iconic modern artists, Dan explores minimalism, color, and expressive composition in every piece.
Creating full-time and on his own terms, Dan continues to grow a vibrant body of work that speaks to collectors and art lovers alike.
