Danny Gallego was born in Morristown NJ to Colombian immigrant parents, Juan and Zahira Gallego. From a young age Danny began developing his passion for the arts with drawings that ranged from subject matter such as animation to more realistic portraitures. Fast forward, his love for art led him to attend The University of The Arts in Philadelphia, where he earned a BFA with an emphasis in Painting. Post graduation, he worked as a studio assistant to his former teacher and artist Stuart Elster in New York City. This was an informative and stimulating year for Danny to learn the rigor of building a strong studio practice. Unfortunately, due to relocation, this venture only lasted a year, transitioning Danny to pursuing a new career in real estate. Over the last eight years Danny has built a successful real estate business in Morris County, but has never stopped creating art. Over the last two years he has rigorously worked on a new body of work that he is finally ready to share and showcase.
