Dan Nagel

Daniel Nagel is a Graphic Designer and Screen Printer who lives and works in Peoria, Illinois.  He attended Western Illinois University where he received his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts in 2010.  Shortly after graduation, Daniel moved to Dubai, UAE, where he was heavily influenced by his travels and the diverse cultural landscape.  During his time in the Middle East, he was a resident artist at Tashkeel, an art facility established by Sheika Lateefa bint Maktoum.  In 2018, he relocated to Peoria and began a residency at the Prairie Center for the Arts.  He spent his residency creating screen prints that were inspired by his travels abroad.  Daniel uses limited colors and balanced compositions to create light-hearted and graphically pleasing works which are accompanied by a range of depth and dynamic textures.  Several of his works were chosen to be displayed at the newly opened Ronald McDonald House in Peoria, IL.
