Dan Gardiner is a full-time artist from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, specializing in intricate torn paper collages, large-scale murals, and custom pet portraits. His unique, handcrafted collages—available in three print sizes—celebrate texture and detail, bringing subjects to life in vibrant layers.

Each summer, Dan showcases his work at Madison’s renowned Art Fair on the Square, sharing his artistry with the community and collectors alike.

“I’ve never forgotten that childhood thrill,” Dan recalls, “when Mom would bring home a new coloring book and a fresh box of 64 Crayola Crayons.”
