Bio & Fine Art Career

Dan Werstuk was born in Ontario in 1949 and grew up in Gravenhurst on Lake Muskoka. He attended the Ontario College of Art from 1969 to 1973 and continued to paint and draw from personal interest while working in the printing industry until 1990.

Since 1990 Dan has made painting and drawing his career. In his exploration of different mediums of expression, Dan found that pastel painting was ideally suited to him. He can paint and draw in the same composition, blending and layering colour to produce realistic landscape paintings.

Borrowing from his expertise in fine art printing, Dan has also created a limited series of original dry point prints, hand coloured in light acrylic washes.
