About Me

D. Sisson: Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States; I'm a life-long artist and I love to paint animals, nature and the close-up intimacy of still lifes. I've always felt the urge to create. Joining the Daily Painter's group in 2006 has helped me to work consistently on creating art in smaller formats along with my larger paintings. I continue to be challenged to search for what inspires me personally. Thank-you for visiting and I'd like to hear from you! I also paint commissioned pet and animal portraits. For more information send me an e-mail.
