Daniel Hangman's artwork is as diverse as his artistic career, and as dynamic as he is. Descending from a family of artists, Daniel grew up in Europe and South America. His mother, Shirley Stafford Henigman-Long, is an accomplished Portrait and Impressionist artist and art instructor. Her experience enabled him to be surrounded by art in its many forms.

He constantly changes his style, evolving while mastering most mediums and techniques.
He combines the artistic and cultural elements experienced from his world travels, achieving exotic and strange beauty with juxtapose and intrigue. His passion for excitingly unusual people and places, combined with the elements of sensuality and cultural imagery gives Daniel an eclectic and prolific body of work.
