Hello, my name is Daniel Sturgeon. As an aspiring art teacher, I am eagerly anticipating beginning student teaching and focusing more on students in an art-related setting.

I was born and raised in Michigan and moved to Arizona my Junior Year of High School. Throughout Middle School and High School Drama, Photography, and Drawing were big influences. My freshman year of High School I attended the Flint Institute of Arts and most of my spare time consists of painting and drawing. I enjoy expanding my experience with different art mediums and sharing my experience with others.
