Daniel Mirante has been wandering the wilderness of the imagination for 34 years. He is fascinated with the exploration of mysticism, deep ecology, mythology, and creativity. His art and writing have appeared worldwide in a variety of publications, websites, exhibitions and calendars.
His activity encompasses several interconnecting spheres, from a personal art/alchemy practice outward to the community through personal teaching and tuition and into the global sphere through numerous internet creations.
