Daniel Ackley

Artist Statement

I create traditional political cartoons for newspapers/think tanks, with pen and ink on heavy paper, and then refine the details digitally. My large-scale editorial paintings are a visual commentary on various topics that matter to me. I was born legally blind with Central Cataracts and had lens implant surgery later in life, correcting my vision from about 20/200 to nearly 20/20!  My artwork has appeared in numerous publications nationwide.
