Visual Art – Phoenix

Kindal McDaniel is a multimedia artist from Phoenix, AZ who combines an extreme pallet of color and surreal images to create beautifully articulated paintings that depict a romanticized reality. \"Growing up in the Tempe/ Phoenix area, there wasn\'t a lot of appreciation for art in my high school career. We were expected to be doctors and teachers, something \"useful\". I grew into myself and discovered I wanted people (myself included) to be proud of their art. So i dropped out of college and pursued a career that rekindled my love for art and allowed others to do the same. And that is how I fuel my passion for creativity, knowing that somewhere out there, there is a high schooler just looking to grow into their paintbrushes, and that my passion is giving them the courage to do so\".
