Daniel Cascardo’s approach to art is to interpret life in a very positive and thought provoking manner through the use of uninhibited brush strokes, bright colors, patterns, symbols and various forms of nature, including fantastic birds and fish, that let your imagination soar. He will introduce to you his mural art, his method, and begin a project with you.
