Surveying the Collapse

Daniel Voelker is a Seattle born and bred abstract artist. His formal education includes the University of Washington and the Atelier Program at Gage Academy of Art, but the real evolution has happened over 20+ years in the studio. His style is edgy, bold and dynamic. He creates captivating collages using his own source material of automatic charcoal and marker drawings, mono prints, and paint. Each work contains many many layers, and often has hidden faces and figures. If you ask Daniel, he'll say he was born an artist and even through stints in the corporate world and while raising his family, he's always been compelled to create art. "I pull something out of nothing and convey it to the world. That is my job." ~ Daniel Voelker
