Daniel Phillips is a 51-year-old artist based in Lower Hutt, Wellington.

Daniel is a person with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) living his best life as a hugely prolific independent artist. When asked why he loves to make art so much his reaction is “art makes me happy!”

Daniel has been a practicing artist for many years, his distinctive style has won him critical acclaim in the Wellington region and beyond.

Daniel has a particular love of travel and visually records his weekends spent on planes, buses, trains, ferries and cable cars. He knows exactly the times and numbers of the modes of transport he uses. He loves to save money from the sale of his art to go on big journeys like ship cruises and flights to Europe to travel on every type of transport he can.

Daniel also loves portraits and will be creating some on opening night.
