Dane Sellers is a young landscape artist living in the American Southwest. Although originally from Utah, he now resides in Arizona. His artistic journey began as a young child visiting his maternal grandparent's "gallery-like" home.
Aside from the artists in his grandparent's collection, the French Impressionist Claude Monet was the first artist he truly studied. Of course, as a young child, the subject matter and the colors attracted him, however, there was a deeper attraction that would take him about ten years to be able to uncover. After Monet, he discovered the original cowboy artists, Frederick Remington and Charles Russell. To this day, he still considers them, in particular Remington, to be two of the most important artists in his development as an oil painter. Today, Scott L. Christensen, Clyde Aspevig, Jim Wilcox, Matt Smith, Grant Redden, and James E. Reynolds are just a few of the many "modern masters" that he studies daily.
