Daniel J. Keys was born on Oct. 7th, 1985, in Fresno CA. Upon noticing a glimpse of artistic talent in him at an early age, Daniel was encouraged by his parents to pursue his passion, namely painting; and being entirely home educated, time was very permitting for him to develop his skill as a self-taught artist. Growing up in a Christian home, he began to understand the blessings of living in a faith-filled environment and recognized his ability to paint to be a gift from Almighty God. He started painting at the age of eleven using a paint set purchased with birthday money. It was during these formidable years that Daniel discovered the work of master artist Richard Schmid, and began emulating Schmid's style in his own paintings. Since that time Daniel has had the opportunity to paint with his mentor, and Mr. Schmid has become a sort of art adviser to him. Daniel’s work is now praised, and collected, by many prominent art enthusiasts from all around the country, and he is represented by two major art galleries: Legacy Gallery, West Wind Fine Art, Montana Gallery and Gallery 1261 in Denver.

Kathy Anderson is best known for her unique interpretation of flowers and gardens, and intimate scenes of landscape.  Working in oils and painting mostly from life, her focus is on a strong design and movement in the painting, keeping the subject as naturally as you would find it.   Her style is representational, but goes a step further into reality, often depicting weeds in the garden, flowers past their prime, etc.

Kathy is included in many prestigious private collections, is a master signature member of Oil Painters of America, an artist member of the Salmagundi Club NY, and is in the permanent collection of the National Arts Club, NYC.  She teaches workshops in the US and abroad and has three popular videos.

She was lucky to be able to call as personal friends two of our greatest contemporary artists– Richard Schmid and Everett Raymond Kinstler, both sadly deceased.  She has spent countless years with each of them, soaking up their wisdom and life stories.

“I see paintings everywhere- every flower, rock, tree, dapple of light, sparkling waterfall –there’s no end to subject matter for an artist when your eyes are always open.”
