Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Daniel Del Orfano decided to stay close to his roots and attend Dowling College in Oakdale, NY. There he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Art Education and was teaching full time by the fall of 2001. After teaching at the prestigious Knox Boarding School, Daniel took a position in the public school system where he taught art to children of all ages. Though extremely rewarding, this was not his true calling.

At this time, Daniel decided to divert his attention from teaching art to creating art, and in the summer of 2005, he formed The Renaissance Workshop. Specializing in Art, The Renaissance Workshop allowed Daniel to expand his horizons, creatively. As demand for his commissioned work increased, Daniel began developing his expressive style, implementing techniques that emphasized texture over realism. Though the work depicted realistic scenes, the effects produced an almost ethereal feeling. The imagery began to take a back seat to the memory of which the image represented. Daniel Del Orfano’s work depicts life, not as it may be, but more as remembered- a snapshot, not of a particular moment but an overall memory.

You can add Daniel’s touching art work by contacting our local art galleries, located in Irvine and Laguna Beach. Featuring the work of dozens of today’s artists, Village Gallery is the top choice among California art collectors.
