DANIEL SMITH Watercolors serendipitously fell into my lap during a challenging season of my life and forever changed the course of not only my art, but my life as well. I inherited my first 50 tubes of DANIEL SMITH from another artist who had passed away. From the very first moment I tried the paint, I was completely blown away by the consistency, vibrancy, lightfastness, and quality.

Over the years I experimented with other brands, but nothing has ever come close to my DANIEL SMITH watercolors.

This journey eventually led me to watching John’s LIVE sessions in 2021, which became a sacred community for me—an online gathering I looked forward to each week, especially as I navigated tremendous health challenges and an eventual kidney transplant. I was always quietly watching those sessions, even from my hospital bed. In 2023, I finally got brave enough to turn my camera on and even speak up occasionally to comment or offer insights.

Fast forward to today, I am now a Brand Ambassador who has begun traveling the world and spending time with the community I have grown to know and love.

DANIEL SMITH is not just an incredible brand with exceptional-quality paints—it is a community of artists led by people who deeply care about providing the best art materials in the world.
