Wonderful turtle by Dan Leo for Southend City Jam 2023.

Dan Leo was born in London in 1984. He moved to Ireland at a young age. Always having had an interest in art, his enthusiasm grew from the consumption of 90's cartoons and having a keen interest in graphic design.

His style has evolved over the years as he believes it should. It’s important to keep moving forward and explore new approaches as well as improve on existing ones.

Animals have always been something he has had respect for and as you can see they feature almost exclusively in his work. Nature is a never ending source of inspiration.

Painting has given him the opportunity to travel and meet many like minds.
