Dan Wilkinson

Dip A&C (Hons); Cert VCD

Teaching art is something Dan Wilkinson loves to do. He has spent almost a third of his life passing on his artistic and creative knowledge and enjoys watching his students progressing and developing at their own pace. Dan prefers to create an environment where students express who they are, as well as what they see and feel.

He encourages a balance of working intuitively and developing skills that help to create works that are aesthetically pleasing. Dan's own works mirror his teaching style; he is constantly evolving as he explores surface and media to satisfy his creative needs. Most of his work is driven by his love and passion for the awesome environment he is surrounded in -Wellington's harbour, west and south coast.

"I’m lucky enough to be a practicing artist who can be involved in NZ's largest provider, it feels great to be able to discover myself and also facilitate an environment where people explore what works for them."
