Hello, you wonderful beings! My name is Dan Hazard, and I am an emerging painter living in rural Boiling Springs, and inspired by my travels and Southern California upbringing. I’m a self-taught portrait artist, honing my craft for the past ten years and in that time I have worked alongside many local artists in the Artists Guild of Spartanburg and the Artists Collective..

My art is a journey through emotions and the struggles of everyday life in all aspects. I like to think of my art as a guided tour of my life through colors and textures.

When I’m not lost in my art, I find peace in the Zen of my garden and inspiration in music—both of which seep into my work.
