About Daniel
Daniel Villa, a self-taught artist based in Stockton, specializes in Linoleum and Woodcut Printmaking. Since late 2019, he has refined his skills in the medium, all while implementing non-toxic printmaking practices from his home studio.
Daniel contributes to arts education via workshops and demonstrations. His collaborations extend to corporate partners, government institutions and non-profit organization.
Beyond the studio, Daniel shares his creative journey through on social media, offering glimpses into his artistic process. When not immersed in printmaking, he finds inspiration in classical music, hanging out with his cat Cheeto, and enjoys the adrenaline rush of being an offensive lineman with his home team, Central Valley Heat Football.
