Among dreams and monster tales

Dan May's gentle, furry monsters have always maintained a level of humanity. And, surprisingly or not, May's recent collection, called "Into the wild" expands this humanity into a deeper emotional level. Living in Jacksonville, FL, Dan May has exhibited his haunting surreal visions in galleries throughout the US and abroad.

He also works with numerous publications, design companies and publishing houses. Influenced mostly by his life, dreams and thoughts, Dan's paintings also reveal the beauty and the power of nature, a magical character on its own, and its connection with humanity.

What May mostly loves is the way his works inspire people and evoke new associations and stories. When he isn't in his studio, this talented artist enjoys traveling, going to museums, exercising and listening to music, delightful activities that always keep his creativity alive.
