I am a Storyteller.
​
As an actor, director and writer, I have spent my entire life telling stories to audiences. My sculpture work is no different.

​I see each one as a single frame of film, a moment in the story of a life. And just like in my performing arts career, my hope is that these works of art connect with you and spark a little story in your mind filled with action, humor, drama and humanity.

"The Original Sin of self-awareness disappears and I am just an animal, building my nest or spinning my web— problem-solving, always concerned with stability and wasted effort,
Using my whole body, constantly visualizing what needs to be done and having the tenacity to get it done, acting instinctively and creating something that feels necessary.”

"There is functional overlap between Stern's vocational and avocational pursuits. His is a sculpture of character, sometimes even caricature. It exaggerates personality, through gesture, apparent activity, and facial expression”

- Peter Frank, Art Critic - LA Weekly & Angeleno Magazine

"Danny's amazing sculpture is the joyful center of our home! Our favorite piece by far and one we interact with every day. It's the one piece always guaranteed to spark an engaging talk about art, love, family, and life."

- Marty Madden, Private Collector

" Daniel Stern's passion for his art is infectious. When he came to the gallery for an artist talk, people were on the edge of their seats. It was fun, entertaining and educational, but most of all it was personal. His love for creating art came through in every conversation with every client in the gallery.”

- Christian Hohmann, Christian Hohmann Fine Art, Palm Desert

"Stern's artwork is much more than creative expression. It serves as medicine for the body, mind, and soul. Daniel is a storyteller at heart, and his bronze sculpture, "Running Girl" captures the expression and movement of a young girl in a moment in time. ”

- Joe Halcomb, Private Collector
