Daniel grew up near Piha on Auckland's Wild West Coast. now lives on Great Barrier Island. It's a place that's remote, secluded, romantic and inspirational.

His work is driven by his lifelong connection to the ocean, and his passion for surfing.

​ The son of two 70's basket weavers, his own creativity appeared during high school workshop design classes at Avondale College, where he came to love working with New Zealand native timber and also learnt to bone carve.

More recently, after helping his mother Viv Keenan, a well known copper artist, with some production issues. he came to enjoy working with copper as well.

He is a self taught artist and designer, and tries to keep his work imaginative yet real. He has a desire for simplicity and to capture the essence of his subject as well as it's beauty.
