This isn’t your average art class.
Over the course of seven days, we’ll dive deep into both the creative process and the emotional depth required to make art that speaks not just to your vision, but to your audience as well.
Here’s what you can expect:
I understand where you are right now.
You’ve had milestones of achievement, from financial success to professional respect, yet something essential feels missing. You feel a longing for deeper meaning, to make art that resonates, not only with your skill and vision but with the impact it can have on others. This is Art that doesn’t just hang on a wall but conveys
the power of healing, personal growth, and exhibits excellence.
Art is Hope.
Art is a Pathway to Healing and Self-Discovery.
What if you could bring that artist back, stronger, bolder, and more impactful than ever?
Imagine creating artwork that reflects your journey, touches hearts, and inspires others.
This is more than just Art; it’s a life of passion and purpose.
What if the Art you create could inspire, comfort, and offer hope in a world that needs it now more than ever?
You’re here because you’re seeking something deeper in your creative journey— to create Art that’s aligned with who you are, your unique voice.
You may feel called to create art that’s loose, expressive, dynamic, intuitive, and freeing.
That’s exactly what the Open Studio 7-Day Intensive Concept to Canvas is designed to help you do!
This isn’t about making “nice or pretty” art; it’s about making transformative art, art that speaks to the human experience and offers beauty and a positive message. Imagine becoming the artist you’ve always aspired to be—
one who creates from a place of openness and resilience.
The time to embrace your artistry isn’t "someday"—it’s today. Whether you’re an emerging artist, a retired professional seeking new passions, or a creative visionary, this is your invitation to step into the powerful and honorable role of an artist, a role that brings light into the world. Art has the unique power to help us see possibility, even in difficult times. This is your opportunity to invest in a creative legacy that speaks to who you are and
makes a lasting impact.

I’m Daniel Kanow, a visual and kinetic artist with over 25 years dedicated to creating art that resonates deeply. Mentored by artists like Ted Egri, Robert Weatherford, Ed Carillo, and Ying Li, I learned that truly impactful art is about bringing your authentic self into every piece. Based in Telluride, Colorado, I work across diverse mediums—acrylics, oils, wood, plexiglass, and bronze—using dynamic expression to explore themes of
impermanence, creation, and the beauty of imperfection.
My process is inspired by Asian philosophical concepts, infusing my work with both contemplation and boldness. I’ve worked with high-level professionals, retirees, both emerging and accomplished artists, youth, Wounded Warriors, and marginalized communities; as well as those working through grief and loss. For each of these demographics, art becomes more than a practice; it’s a pathway to healing, self-discovery, and finding purpose.
Through Break Through Your Art and the Open Studio 7-Day Intensive, I guide individuals to reconnect with their creativity, crafting art that reflects their unique voice and creative potential. My mission is to help you discover what you are meant to create so that you can produce powerful and meaningful exhibition-worthy artwork.
This program is only for those truly ready to invest in their art and their future.

"Daniel pushed me, and all his students to go beyond what they felt they were capable of in creating art; he asked us to sit with our creations for longer, to think about them more carefully, and allowed us to find the balance between being bold with the risks we take, having faith in our gut impulses, and being meticulous in each decision that may lead us to."
-Will Roberts
"I believe my artistic voice has started to come out, my style, by creating a technique that flows out of me. It seems to be really improving. The creativity is coming. I am producing work I am proud of. I am producing art that people are really interested in seeing. That really brings joy and excitement."
-Steven Chandler
"I really have developed into a stronger artist because of working with Daniel. When I started working with Daniel, I had major fear and anxiety, and suffered from the white page syndrome. Using the mindset exercises taught by Daniel helped equip me with the tools needed to be a more confident artist. My mark making has become more loose and courageous—my artwork more bold and beautiful."
-Liphus Swindall
"You have literally changed my life and the influence that you have provided will resonate for years to come. I can’t even imagine what I would’ve done instead without the influence that you provided. It has really helped me to access my best self, and it’s so exciting and powerful when I can access such a special thing. You gave me the knowledge that I had a superpower!"
-Beth Peters
"You really helped me to set my analytical process aside long enough to explore this intuitive part and then bring them back together. Working with someone who has a ton of experience like yourself and an outside perspective helps to shed light on things we are missing, like something we are not seeing. When you light up the obstacle, I can see my way through it, and that’s exactly what you did."
-Sara Ward
"Through Daniel’s classes, I learned the vocabulary needed to analyze my artwork and express its significance. Daniel organized and helped me prepare for a solo exhibition. This was an extremely influential moment that helped me gain confidence in my artwork. This experience also helped teach me the skills needed for solo presentation of one’s artwork."
-Mona Taylor
