Welcome to the online "about" page of Phil Daniels.

Phil is an internationally acclaimed listed artist. He has pieces in some of the largest private collections across the globe with sales in excess of 600 original paintings.

From art hanging in the Mall Gallery in London to illustrations in books and graphics used in computer games Phil has produced art to suit a broad variety of media and customers.

Born in the early 60's Phil grew up with a love of nature and became a gamekeeper as his first job. Spending all his time with nature and animals led to an appreciation and love of wildlife. Turning professional as an artist Phil concentrated in the main on wildlife art and has worked with the Wildlife Trust and contributed to various charities involved in this area.
In recent years several trips to Africa led Phil to teach children there and bring that teaching closer to home with Phil teaching in the UK to schools and art groups.
As a member of various art and wildlife organisations Phil is recognized by his peers in the art world as an artist of high quality and emotional pieces.
