Daniel Graves

For many years Maureen Hyde worked as a book illustrator. Her interest for making a transition to fine art painting was deeply stirred by the works of Italy-based Daniel Graves, which she came across at a gallery.

Ryan S. Brown studied illustration at Brigham Young University in Utah. Not satisfied with university studies, he took lessons from William Whitaker, a renowned portrait and figurative painter, after which he moved to Italy to perfect his skills at the Florence Academy of Arts under the tutelage of Daniel Graves.
