Danny Hampson was born in Liverpool in 1957. His father was an enthusiastic amateur photographer. His mother and closest relatives exhibited no artistic inclination. Dannys parents divorced when he was six years old and his Mum, stepfather, and sister moved to a new town - bright, modern and futuristic - in 1970. In this environment of heavy rock, glam rock, modern architecture and new art forms, he started to explore his creative inclinations through music and art. From the mid 1970s to the early 90s, music was his primary artistic pursuit. In 1981 Danny?s band, Modern Eon signed to the record label Dindisc. One LP and three singles later, the band split. In the late 90s (several musical adventures later), Danny lost his passion for creating music. Art became his number one passion.

In 1995 with no formal qualifications, Danny enrolled on a three year art-based GNVQ course and achieved a distinction. Having discovered he had a passion for printmaking he then went to London College of Print where he obtained, in 2002, an upper 2:1 BA (Hons.) degree in Print Media (Surface Design). Moving back to Liverpool in 2003, Danny attempted to start a silkscreen printing workshop but found it too expensive to set up. In Photoshop he found the perfect alternative to traditional print media. Importing texture, line drawing, and using layering techniques, he has created a strong and distinctive style.

Danny says this of his work:

"My vision is to create work that is more than simply surface design, work with a fresh contemporary style that also encapsulates a feeling of history and longevity. I want my designs to have the same effect as the great music, art and literature of the past - to sit in the subconscious and resonate with the viewer now and into the future."

"In a world where urban life and man-made structures continually collide with the organic shapes of nature, my aim is to abstract and reconstruct these elements to create an eclectic montage of work that brings harmony and balance into the contemporary environment."
