Daniel Smith, one of America’s foremost nature artists, enjoys wide acclaim for his spectacular depictions of the natural world. Inspired by his surroundings in southwest Montana, Daniel paints from a depth of knowledge and passion. He travels frequently to research his subjects in their natural habitat, believing that there is no substitute for personal experience in the field. He comments, “The painting process . . . it’s fun and creative, but the real enjoyment for me is being out there and experiencing it, seeing the colors, feeling the rain and traipsing through the snow . . . that’s what is it all about.” Smith can’t remember when he wasn’t interested in art. Born and raised in Mankato, Minnesota, Daniel’s time spent as a youth in the field was the catalyst to a career dedicated to observing and painting wildlife. His career began as an illustrator, but his evenings were spent painting what he was most passionate about–wildlife. Smith has been painting full-time for more than twenty-five years and today is recognized as one of the foremost representational wildlife painters. His meticulous attention to detail has captured the imagination of critics and collectors alike. His art is on display at some of the worlds’ most prestigious art museums including the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum, Leigh Yawkey Woodsen Art Museum, The Wildlife Experience, The Leaning Tree Museum of Western Art and the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History as well as some of the world’s most discriminating private collectors. He has been chosen as Artist of the Year for several conservation organizations and has generated millions of dollars for conservation efforts. Daniel participates annually in the Masters of the American West exhibit at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles, CA; The Western Visions exhibit at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, WY and The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, IN.
Daniel Smith, one of America's foremost nature artists, enjoys wide acclaim for his spectacular
depictions of landscapes and wildlife.
Smith lives in the mountains of southwest Montana where artistic inspiration surrounds him. He has been painting full time for over twenty years and has had more than 100 of his paintings reproduced as limited edition prints. He began his career designing conservation stamps. He has designed more than thirty stamps including the 1988-89 Federal Duck Stamp and was selected as Ducks Unlimited International Artist of the Year for the second time in 2002. In 2003 he received three prestigious awards from the Society of Animal Artists. These included an Award of Excellence, The Leonard J. Meiselman Award for a Realistic Painting Executed in an Academic Manner, and The Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum Purchase Award.
The detail and scientific accuracy of Smith's art caught the eyes of organizations such as the National Geographic Society, who commissioned him to paint five color plates for The Field Guide to the Birds of North America, and the prestigious "Birds in Art" exhibition sponsored by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. In 1996 he was inducted into the U.S. ART Hall of Fame due to his great popularity among print collectors.
Smith travels frequently to research his subjects in their natural habitat, believing that there is no substitute for personal experience in the field. He says of his work, "I want people to experience the peace, the tranquillity of the wilderness, of being the only one out there, communing with nature." An ardent supporter of wildlife conservation, he feels indebted to the natural world that has provided him with the sole inspiration for his award-winning career.
