MY STORY
I’m Dan Woollard, a fantasy artist from Wiltshire, near the ancient stones of Stonehenge.
I have been painting for over 20 years. My creative journey began with pencil drawing, spending countless hours sketching detailed worlds and letting my imagination run wild.
Everything changed after a visit to The New Forest in Burley, Hampshire, where I discovered the work of fantasy artist Josephine Wall. After purchasing one of her portfolio books, something clicked instantly — on the journey home I realised this was what I wanted to dedicate my life to creating.
From that moment, I picked up a paintbrush and never looked back.
My work is deeply inspired by nature, dreams and the mysteries of the universe.. Through vibrant colour, immersive landscapes and glowing UV-reactive details, I aim to create paintings that feel alive — worlds that people can emotionally connect with and escape into.
Each piece is created as a journey beyond ordinary reality — a doorway into imagination, wonder and timeless emotion.
My Biggest Inspiration
Without this amazingly talented and lovely lady, I would not be on the journey I am on today. The world-renowned fantasy artist — the one and only Josephine Wall.
Sharing the Creative Journey
Beyond the canvas, I share my creative process with a community of over 135,000 followers on TikTok, where I livestream the creation of my paintings, answer questions and invite people into my studio almost every day. In 2025, I was honoured to finish 8th place in TikTok LIVE Fest, a milestone that reflects the incredible support of my community and the passion we share for fantasy art.
