Artist Daniel Raymond Dussault was raised in the small oil town of Kilgore, TX. With a population of only 7000, the town had very little, if any, cultural outlets for Dussault to explore. Fortunately, with the guidance of his older siblings who were both musicians and artists, Dussault discovered his love for art and music in his own home. The bleak landscape in which Dussault was raised was the perfect environment to escape into drawing, painting, playing music and exploring the arts overall. He has never been formally trained but instead has learned from his interaction with the world around him. Within his artwork, especially the images of iconic musicians, he has been able to combine the two things he loves most: art and music. Dussault's work has been exhibited at The Sochi Gallery in Macon, GA; The 567 Renewal for the Arts in Macon, GA; Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville, GA; The Dizzy Gypsy Art Gallery in Lawrenceville, GA; The Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce in Duluth, GA; The Apache Cafe in Atlanta, GA; Tree Sound Recording Studios in Norcross, GA; and many more. “As an artist, I always try to keep my work pure and straight from the soul; I try to spiritually connect with my subjects. I create because it is what I feel I was born to do and I am most content when creating. In it I find happiness and the self-realization of a man who has been truly blessed.” drd ink
