Daniel Benedum originally from Slinger, Wisconsin moved to Minneapolis, MN in 2016. Starting his education at a local community college gave him opportunities to gain insight and appreciation for the support of the arts found within the Twin Cities Metro area. Benedum started to create paintings that talked about community through the lens of public spaces. Using oil paint his work expressively documents spaces that share a relational value. His work aims to capture the experiences of his own community. He received a BFA in painting with a double major in social justice psychology from the University of Wisconsin River Falls in December 2021.
