Dan has been making things for as long as he can remember.

Drawn to materials, processes and the satisfaction of creating by hand, he has always been fascinated by how ideas become objects, whether through printmaking, ceramics, sculpture or simply finding a new use for an everyday material.

​

In 2006, he founded Brighton's ink_d gallery, transforming a former tattoo parlour into one of the UK's best-loved independent contemporary galleries. Over the following ten years, as Director and Curator, Dan organised more than 100 exhibitions, working alongside an eclectic mix of established and emerging artists, publishers and makers. Along the way he was fortunate enough to wear many hats, including curator, printmaker, studio assistant and occasional problem solver.

​

Today, as founder and Director of Whistleblower Gallery, Dan continues to curate exhibitions that celebrate originality, craftsmanship and the joy of making. He is happiest when bringing work together in a space, discovering unexpected conversations between pieces and helping artists present their work at its very best. While he continues his own creative practice, his greatest pleasure comes from championing the work of others and creating exhibitions that invite people to look a little longer.

If you'd like to discuss a project, exhibition or collaboration, he'd be delighted to hear from you.

The gallery is working on upcoming shows as well as publishing with artists.  Keep up to date with all that's going on here
