biographical information

 

Daniel Stuelpnagel has been painting since 1985, after studying under Herb Jackson at Davidson College in North Carolina. The artist pursued studio work with Dan Dudrow at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland in continuing studies between 1991 and 1993.

In addition to a 2001 painting trip to Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, the artist spent two years in northern California, where his work was represented by the Exploding Head Gallery in Sacramento. Stuelpnagel's first solo gallery exhibition opened in Washington, DC at Parish Gallery, Georgetown, in January, 2003. Before embarking on a full-time art career, he worked as a stock-broker and branch manager for T. Rowe Price mutual funds in Baltimore and Washington, with an emphasis on technology, financial markets and organizational dynamics.

The artist began painting seascapes in 1992, and developed his unique geometric abstractions beginning in 1995, completing his first series for exhibition in 1998. Travels include a 2003 visit to Barcelona, Spain and a trip to northern Italy in 2005. After spending two months on the island of Maui in the spring of 2006, Stuelpnagel returned to Lahaina for his September exhibition of Maui landscapes at Sargent's Fine Art.

His work in abstract landscape paintings represents a fusion of the geometric and seascape compositions, emphasizing the subtle geometry emergent in nature to reveal the properties of earth, sea and sky.

The artist has donated paintings to assist in fund-raising for organizations concerned with children's arts education and literacy, housing for the disabled, public television, cancer treatment research and hospice care for terminal AIDS patients.

Stuelpnagel is based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, at LO A D OF FU N studios in the Station North Arts District.
