As an artist, Daniel Perry has freelanced in many areas of the visual arts over the last decade or so. Studying first at Central / St. Martins followed by two years at the Royal College of Art he combined illustration with painting, under Professor Dan Fern, before leaving England in '91, for Scandinavia; an initial three day adventure which was to last for about eight years, as after the third day studio space was secured in the beautiful surroundings of Sofiero Slott, the former summer residence of the King and Queen of Sweden, through art dealer Goran Wrambeck who bought his initial work collectively later selling individual pieces for as much as £10,000 before sticking a gun in his mouth and almost committing suicide on bankruptcy of £14 million. He later wrote a book "Pengarna eller livet" (Your money or your life). This initial stay lasted a year before he decided to remain in order to develop work.

Combining interests in both Fine and Commercial Art, Perry has worked in many visual disciplines. Whilst at the Royal College for instance he spent time in Berlin in '89 working on the Wall. An avid interest in the use of graffiti then developed which lead to time spent in Brooklyn, New York, before his return to London. This interest has continued to the present day and influences of this can be seen in the work produced today.

As well as exibiting and selling work through the gallery system, Perry has worked on many commercial projects encompassing traditional And digital media, involving such diverse projects as graphic and illustration work, large scale murals, working in theatre, designing and building sets, to design projects on cruise ships.
