Daniel Robinson was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1963. The son of a part-time preacher, Robinson
moved from New York to Colorado, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Idaho, and then finally to Oregon, where
he attended high school and later the Pacific Northwest College of Art and Portland State University,
earning a B.A. in Fine Art from the latter in 1991. He lives in Fossil, Oregon with his wife and two
children. Depicting relics of post-industrial life in glowing natural landscapes, Daniel Robinson
reimagines the precisionist tradition of American painting where he draws on his rural surroundings
for inspiration. His works capture the sweeping natural beauty of the Western landscape, often in
luminescent dusk or dawn lighting, but also incorporate angular architectural features, such as roads
or industrial buildings, to offset nature’s organic curves. He has exhibited frequently in Oklahoma
and Arizona and is the recipient of numerous awards.
