Daniel Gerhartz

Born in 1965, Daniel Gerhartz grew up in rural Wisconsin, an area he continues to call home. The unspoiled beauty of the nearby Kettle Moraine State Forest was his playground as a child and still provides inspiration for many of his paintings today. “I’ve been really lucky,” Gerhartz says. “I can paint what I want to paint: the area around here is so beautiful, with its rolling hills, deciduous forests, and prairies. I love to place a figure against that landscape.”

Honesty is the vein that runs through the life and art of Dan Gerhartz. This integrity, combined with his driving work ethic and impeccable technique, have brought him a degree of success that artists twice his age would envy.
