Daniel Bartholomaeus
Canberra-based emerging artist and advocate
I am a young neurodivergent emerging artist based in Canberra and Queanbeyan Region, Australia who has started a Bachelor of Visual Arts. I recently appeared as a journalism student on the ABC program The Assembly – Season 2 and Season 3 – episodes are available on ABC iview. The Official trailer for season 3 can be viewed here: Official Trailer | The Assembly Season Three | ABC iview
Art has always been my passion. I like all kinds of medium and I am keen to use my art to help others. I am working to develop an art and advocacy business and I am just working out what that will look like. Have a look at my services and about pages to find out more. This web-site is a work in progress and I hope to expand it as my practice grows. I invite you to explore my art through the images on this site.
