Daniel Spanier received his B.F.A. from the University of Montevallo with a concentration in graphic design.  For the last six years he has lived in Birmingham working as an artist and graphic designer.

“My current series of icons focuses on the visual symbolism of religion, mythology and pop culture.  The intention of the work is to use familiar images to tell new stories while still referencing the more familiar meanings of the symbols.

I use traditional media (oil and acrylic paint on canvas) as well as less traditional found objects to further explore this concept.”
