Painter and educator, Daniel Springer has been teaching in the Arts for over twenty years, the last seventeen at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School where he currently holds the position of Fine Arts Department Chair.
Earning his BFA at Parsons School of Design in NYC, Dan also studied performance and theater design at Syracuse University and holds his Masters in English from Northeastern University.
In addition to his duties at D-Y, he is also on the Advisory Board of the Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association and teaches regularly at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. Dan also continues to present workshops at annual National Art Education Association conferences.
Dan was recognized for his passionate work in Art education by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod when he was named the “Arts Educator of the Year” in March of 2010.
When not painting or teaching, Dan’s “extra” time is mostly focused on the Art Educators of Cape Cod and the Islands, working with colleagues across the region to advocate for and defend the Arts in our public and private schools.
As an artist, Dan paints contemporary, luminous, atmospheric landscapes evoking an emotional sense of place. He captures moments when light creates a contemplative mood compelling the viewer to linger. In his assemblage and monotypes he searches for a kind of vocabulary that reflects the struggle between the intrusion of humanity and the harmony of nature.
He has had three solo shows at the Brewster Ladies Library, in 2006, 2007 and in 2009. In addition, his paintings were featured in two group shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, MA in 2009. Dan regularly shows his work at PAAM. He was part of CC&IAEA group shows in Centerville, South Yarmouth and in Falmouth from 2011-2012. Dan’s next scheduled SOLO show at the Brewster Ladies Library is JULY 2012
