The 22-year-old is organising a group art show, 'Living Creatures Project Exhibition' and aims to bring the idea of street art to Jervis Bay and inspire the community.
The art exhibition will bring more than 20 Sydney artists in the urban, street and expressive art scene to Huskisson from June 8 to 16.
Known by his artist name of Creaturisticart, Daniel now lives in Newtown and has long held in interest in street art.
Since moving to Sydney, Daniel said he's found his artistic community and now wants to help the the art scene gain more exposure and audiences in the local region.
"Over time I have always been excited to see street art spread throughout the town of Nowra," he said.
"This art ranges from the large-scale murals that can be seen, to the smaller works such as paste-ups and stickers. The use of spray paint to create street-tags was another form that I gravitated towards and found very intriguing.
"This was a major influence for my love of this medium, which led me to utilising spray paint as a medium and creating my own murals.
"Whilst the beauty of street art glows throughout Nowra, it is yet to pave its way through to Jervis Bay and consequently, my aim is to further push this practice of street art and utilise the exhibition as a means to inspire the community."
Daniel hosted his first 'Living Creatures' project at the Newtown Hotel in January and introduced live art.
Each artist worked on their art in front of a crowd and features a range of emerging artists and well-known muralist and illustrator, YT.
Daniel said the event was well-received and he's hoping audiences in the Shoalhaven engage with the upcoming show.
More than 20 artists including Ladyj Wllf, Ink Hunter, Karen Farmer, Camo, will be involved.
