FAIRFIELD, CT.- The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. proudly presents nationally acclaimed artist and illustrator, Daniel Brown, at its Fairfield gallery, 1657 Post Road, on March 24 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Brown will be on hand during a wine and cheese reception to meet with collectors and discuss his remarkable use of light and shadow to create extraordinarily life-like paintings.

Gallery director, Chris Usher, says “it is uncanny how Dan’s paintings are so realistic. They have almost a photographic quality to them and when you realize that you are looking at a painting, you stare in awe at his brilliance.” It is without surprise,” Usher adds, “that Dan’s work is nationally and internationally sought after for both private and corporate collections.”

About Daniel Brown - Dan Brown is as accomplished oil painter, watercolorist and illustrator. He was born in Syracuse, New York in 1949. While still in high school he enrolled in art classes at both Syracuse University and Everson Museum. He later attended The Paier College of Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Paier College was a very traditional art school that emphasized the basics and focused on painting and drawing from life. After graduation, Brown became a successful illustrator with clients such as: Xerox, Disney, Reader's Digest and the Pentagon. He eventually turned his focus from illustration to a career in fine art. Since he spent most of his time focusing on depictions of objects as an illustrator, still life painting was the logical choice for him. The richly hued, spare, almost photo-realistic compositions have become his trademark style of painting.
