Dan Brown is not just an artist, but also a teacher, author, and sculptor. He loves creating art from found objects and works in various media. For an impressive 29 years, he was the only art teacher at Okanogan Middle and High School. His art is mostly inspired by nature since he grew up on US Fish and Wildlife refuges and has a deep appreciation for exploring the outdoors. Dan holds a BS in Wildlife Biology and a master's in Education. He is the author and illustrator of "Trout: A Fictitious History", a wonderful book filled with beautiful watercolors and fanciful stories with some bits of truth mixed in.
