original creations
A determination to create original Art. A quest for beauty. A love of earth and clay. All led Dan Skinner to invent new ceramic techniques, innovative graceful forms, and sculptural realism that have become his trademark. His works include human and animal forms, as well as inanimate objects and large rare vases.

The Sculptural Excellence of Dan Skinner...
Dan was born in the USA in 1950. He began clay modeling in 1958 and has maintained a passion for sculpting to this day. Early influences include being raised in the ranch lands of northern Idaho and Northern Arizona. He studied sculpture and ceramics at Northern Arizona University and BYU Hawaii. Since that time he has lived all though the West, most notably spending 9 years in Alaska. Relocating to Hawaii in 1990 enabled Dan to devote more time to his art work and by 1992 has been doing art full time. Dan truly has a gift for capturing grace and beauty within realistic forms.
Dan has completed various commissions, done public artwork, and shown in galleries across the United States and now in Australia.
