I'd like to introduce myself for those of you who don't know who I am. My artist name is Skip Noah. My real name is Daniel Myers, I acquired the nickname Skip in elementary school. I started painting around 1992/1993 and I would sign my paintings as 'Skip' most of the time. I decided to go with an artist pen name in 2000. I picked Noah after the character Noah in Genesis (because he saved all the animals). I currently sign my pieces with 'Skip Noah' and go by that name for my art.

I've taught myself how to draw and paint. When I was a kid I would trace cartoon characters on a light up tracing machine my parents got me. Years later when I was in my early 20s I decided to start painting. I showed at a gallery in Deep Ellum called Vincent's Ear. They soon closed down and I didn't seek any other gallery shows.

In 1996 I met my soon-to-be wife and best friend Nikki, and she encouraged me to try and show my artwork again. I submitted my artwork to a gallery called the Deep Ellum Center for the Arts. They offered me a dual show with another artist. After that I started showing regularly at various galleries. I am now represented in Dallas by Dahlia Woods Gallery. To date I have completed over 130 works of art.

I was born in Florida and have lived in Dallas, Texas; Riverside, California; Honolulu, Hawaii; Biloxi, Mississippi; Hoboken, New Jersey and currently live in Austin, Texas. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 10 years. I am a graphic designer as well as an artist. In my spare time I like to hike and read. I really enjoy a nice coffee, dark chocolate and curry (especially South Indian). I love to travel when I can afford to and explore the world. I’m a proud daddy to 2 beautiful daughters.
