Danny McLaughlin's bright and funny personality has led him to become a favorite instructor in the area!  He teaches Ongoing Studio classes on Tuesday mornings, afternoons, and evenings for the Cultural Council.  

Born and raised in the area, Danny has a passion for the local culture and scenery.  His infatuation expands to Charleston, having earned a Fine Arts degree at the College of Charleston.  His subjects include portraits, landscapes, still life- virtually anything that inspires. Working in either oil or acrylic, Danny concentrates on color and texture, seemingly to an Impressionist-influenced style.

Celebrities Chubby Checker and Oprah Winfrey own works by Danny, and his art has hung in the Library of Congress.  His passion for the local area spans more than just the culture and scenery, but to the people and community as well, having donated 80+ paintings to the Red Cross, Libraries of the Lowcountry, Big Brother/Big Sisters, Salvation Army, Tara Hall Home for Boys, Maritime Museum, Ducks Unlimited, Churches of the Lowcountry, Trident Culinary Institute.
