An exhibit of oil paintings by Dan Helsel
ABOUT THE ARTIST
A native of Davidsville, Pennsylvania, Daniel Helsel started painting in 1995 after retiring from his business. He enjoys the paintings of the OLD MASTERS STYLE, such as works of Chardin, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Velazquez. He feels they have lasting quality and beauty. Daniel works with actual setups in the studio not from photographs. His paintings can be found throughout the United States and have been purchased by Mount Aloysius College, the Community Arts Center of Cambria County, Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and the Somerset County Artists Association. He studied at the Sulkowski Academy of Fine Art in Canonsburg, PA; focusing on the texture of silver, brass, gold, glass and porcelain. Dan has studied in workshops with James Sulkowski in Maine, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. He also took workshops with Tom Nicholis in Maine and T.M. Nicholis in Vermont. Dan paints on oil primed linen canvas and prepares his own panels from Gesso using a Renaissance formula. He has won several awards with local art associations and has also designed and patented a painter’s box. Daniel is no stranger to exhibits as he has had several in the surrounding area, including the Gerald Weaver Gallery at the Village at Morrison Cove in Martinsburg, PA and the Allegany Arts Saville Gallery located in Cumberland, Maryland, just to name a few. Daniel has taught classes at the Community Arts Center of Cambria County, Bottle Works of Johnstown, & Bedford County Arts Center in Bedford, PA.
