Beverly Hills Magazine: Daniel Redfern, hi! Welcome to the show. It’s such an honor to have you today.
Daniel Redfern: Thank you. Thank you for having me.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Let’s get started with you telling us what first inspired you to pursue a career in fine arts.
Daniel Redfern: Yeah, so I’ve been a fine artist since 2001, and I love painting. And growing up, I’m originally from San Francisco, California, but we moved to Northern Virginia in 1993. And there’s a town called McLean, Virginia, which could be Beverly Hills’ sister. It’s a beautiful town. And I love going and driving through and seeing all the beautiful homes and how they’re constructed. I’ve always loved craftsmanship, and that really inspires my imagination. I have two great states that I travel between frequently, the great state of California and the great state of Virginia. So they really provide me with ample inspiration between the both of them.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Absolutely, I always say God is the original artist. Just look at nature, and it’s awe-inspiring. You have such an incredible gift. I’ve seen your works, and they’re so beautiful, and they range from so many different themes. What influences your artistic style, and where do you get your inspiration for your work?
Daniel Redfern: Yes, of course. I would definitely say I’m a contemporary traditionalist. And people might be like, oh, what is that? Well, I love the traditional arts, so drawing, watercolors, even ballet, oil paintings. I really started out in watercolors, which is hilarious because I didn’t like it at first. It was so time-consuming, and it took so much time, and it’s just hilarious. But now I’m doing these larger-than-life sizes of 39 by 40 inches. They’re huge. And also my oil paintings are also 50 by 70 inches, and I’ve always been visually gifted. So I see the completed piece in my head before I put it down on oil or watercolor, and I’ve always kind of just seen how the images come to me naturally. And then I’m like, I’ve got to draw that, or I’ve got to paint that immediately.
Beverly Hills Magazine: That’s amazing. It’s like a divine gift, and you begin with the end in mind because you can see it, but now you just have to create it. Someone like you, I think, is really painting from spirit. Can you tell us the story about your first commissioned piece?
Daniel Redfern: Yes, of course. So my first commissioned piece was way, way back in like 2005. I actually did it for my cousin when I was much younger. And I did a painting, I believe, at his house. He was remodeling it. He lives in San Francisco. And so I had done it for him. And then Word of Mouth just kind of grew from that. This was way back in like 2005 when I was still in high school. And since then, I’ve amassed quite a portfolio of more than 5,000 original works of art.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Wow, 5,000, that’s a lot. You’ve been really busy. In Washington, D.C., you’re one of the premier artists with a vast private collection. Tell us about your piece Eternal Rise of the Golden Shadows and its significance.
Daniel Redfern: Just recently, I work full time. And, you know, I’m very busy. But I’ve been trying to sell works. And this work, Eternal Majesty and the Rise of the Golden Shadows, actually started during the pandemic because I was working from home. I had tons of time on my hands. And I saw this design angel in my head. And I was like, how am I going to get this out? So I started drawing him. And then I started painting him. I didn’t like it at first how it turned out. This was like 2022. And then I just finished him in 2025, like a few months ago. What makes this piece so unique is all the gold. The gold is from the 1920s. It’s over 100 years old. And there’s thousands and thousands of sheets of gold, even layered underneath all the oil paints. And it’s just a beautiful complementation about, you know, the process of the fine arts. And it’s just about prosperity. And it was during such a dark time that I painted that painting as well.
Beverly Hills Magazine: What is the name of it again?
Daniel Redfern: Yeah. It’s called the Eternal Majesty and the Rise of the Golden Shadows. It’s a 50-inch by 70-inch oil painting, all done with Michael Harding oil paints, which is the premier United Kingdom. I’ve always used his oil paints. They’re very heavy, which I prefer, because it’s easier to mix all the colors. And it’s less watery. I don’t like the watered, you know, oil paints. And I have all this gold that I wanted to use in a piece. And I just thought this was fitting to bring light to such a dark time. Being home during the pandemic, my mother had just had her second open-heart surgery. So it was just really a dark, dark time. And I wanted to create this piece to bring light and know that the world is still a beautiful place, even though we’re all stuck at home during this time.
Beverly Hills Magazine: I love that you painted an angel, especially during such a dark time. As a Christian, I see angels as guardians and protectors in the Bible. How do you normally choose the subjects of your paintings? Are they visions, inspirations, or personal?
Daniel Redfern: Mostly visions. I do take a lot from San Francisco. That’s my inspiration, as well as Washington, D.C. I remember I did the Library of Congress, the interior shot, and that took about a month and a half in watercolor. And that was just beautiful because I love going and visiting there and seeing all the books. It’s the largest library in the world. And we’re so lucky to have it here in America’s backyard. So I love that. But usually visions. I think about something or someone, conversations I’ll be having with somebody or a client, and they’ll bring something up, and I’m like, oh, wow, I just imagined that. And spoiler alert, I am going to be on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I was commissioned to do a piece for Meredith Marks and Seth Marks, her husband. They’re the nicest people, so I was so happy to do an oil painting of their family.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Congratulations, that’s so exciting! This Eternal Majesty is a recent masterpiece. How long did it take to complete, and what’s your typical process?
Daniel Redfern: Five years. It took five years. I have, like, crown jewels in my collection. This is one of them. I just wasn’t happy with how I originally had drawn it out. And so I wanted to revisit it. I paused. I took several months off. It always sat in my back corner of my basement, which is where my studio is. And my sister would come home, come over, and she’s like, are you ever going to finish that piece? She was encouraging me. I love her to death. And then I just went and I usually combine a natural, you know, material to all my pieces, if I can, like gold. There’s another one that has silver leaf, which I’ll get into. So I had all this gold, and I really wanted to use it in the piece, and I thought this was fitting with the tones and the colors and the visual, you know, composition of the piece. And it just turned out beautifully. I think it would make a really great home for somebody, definitely in a library or a parlor or a dining room. I’ve had a flood of interest, but I definitely want to find that right buyer.
Beverly Hills Magazine: It’s a very opulent piece with the gold elements. How much does a piece like that go for?
Daniel Redfern: Yeah, so right now it’s available. It was appraised by the Naturalist Gallery, which is a huge online gallery. They have a small presence in New York City. It was appraised at $9 million, and so that was the price that the gallery curation team felt it was great. So that’s on sale. It’s been on sale for two months through the Naturalist Gallery for $9 million.
Beverly Hills Magazine: If a buyer is interested, do they purchase it through the Naturalist Gallery in New York, or can they contact you directly?
Daniel Redfern: Yes, and I can give them the link to the gallery website.
Beverly Hills Magazine: How do you decide on your typical process when starting a new piece, and how do you choose the color palette?
Daniel Redfern: I love that. Yeah, definitely. So I always sketch it out in my head, and then I look at what paint I have available. So, you know, I recently just did a flamingo lagoon park for summer. That was one of the themes I had in my head. I love tropical themes, so I sketch it all out and I mix the colors, and then I start with the base, and then I add on top of that, and if I don’t like something, kind of like Photoshop, I go over it as well with the paints, and it just always turns out really, really well. And I let it dry, and my sizes are so large that usually people don’t notice small or minor imperfections as well.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Your work is incredible, covering natural landscapes, family portraits, and celebrity pieces. What draws you to these subjects, specifically in the celebrity world and pop culture?
Daniel Redfern: I’ve always, you know, my mom grew up in La Cañada Flintridge, which isn’t too far from Beverly Hills, it’s in Los Angeles, and so going back and forth between the two, she would always talk about celebrities and, you know, things growing up and Hollywood icons and old Hollywood, and so that just really enamored me growing up. In Virginia, it’s more senators, politicians, congressmen, and so that, you know, it was just really great to experiment with old Hollywood. I love Taylor Swift. I’m definitely a Swifty. I love her music, and so I did a painting of her a few years ago, and then also more recently, I’ve been commissioned to do Saudi royalty, so I have done two Saudi princes in my portfolio as well for the State Department, so that’s a huge honor. I love Saudi Arabia. They’re the nicest people, and there’s a huge embassy here in Washington as well.
Beverly Hills Magazine: How do you overcome creative blocks, if ever, and what role does music play in your creative process?
Daniel Redfern: So I love music. You must know someone creative because music is everything. I love certain beats and, you know, songs I’m listening to. I’m really into Ava Max right now, who’s a younger singer in California, Los Angeles. I also love Rihanna. I always love Rihanna. You know, I really get into music when I’m listening in the car, where a lot of my visions come in the car, definitely, or at home. In the car, yeah.
Beverly Hills Magazine: I find the car is a think tank for me, too. How do you balance personal expression with public appeal in your art, or is that not even a consideration?
Daniel Redfern: It just really depends. Like, you know, I have a lot of clients that want their families done, so I’ve definitely done more family-based this year, as opposed to, like, me just doing landscapes and things I love. But I have definitely a great balance between the both of them. I really never get creative slacks. I definitely, if I don’t feel creatively connected to a piece, I leave it and revisit it.
Beverly Hills Magazine: I love that. Creatively, pacing yourself is the best thing, because inspiration sometimes comes in spurts. You mentioned getting flooded with questions about time management. How do you handle that?
Daniel Redfern: The number one question I get asked, and I get flooded with thousands of DMs and emails, and I try to respond as best I can, you know, as quickly as I can. The number one question is, how do you have all that time? And I’m like, I literally get home at 5 p.m., and I have all night, and no family, and no restrictions, and being single, so there’s lots of time to complete these pieces.
Beverly Hills Magazine: It’s like your love, your passion. You mentioned another piece that went viral, the Beyoncé painting. Tell us more about that.
Daniel Redfern: One of the other pieces that also went viral on social was this beautiful painting of Beyoncé that has more than 10,000 sheets of silver leaf on it. It is based off Gustav Klimt’s portrait, The Woman in Gold. So I really love Beyoncé. She’s one of my favorite artists. Hopefully everyone likes Beyoncé. She’s the genius. It’s available. I think a museum would be great, or a gallery. I’ve gotten a lot of smaller galleries, you know, in Charlotte and Miami, but I’m in Washington, D.C., of course. Or even if Beyoncé buys it herself. It did recently appraise for about $30 million because of all the silver leaf in it. Again, from the 1920s, going back to that old Hollywood glamour, all the blue enamels, red enamels. So I do try to take things from the past and reinvent them into new things now.
Beverly Hills Magazine: That’s a stunning piece. How long did that one take you to complete?
Daniel Redfern: A few months. It was a lot. I loved it so much. It’s definitely the crown jewel of my collection, I feel.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Can you discuss the symbolism in your piece The Roses Within?
Daniel Redfern: Oh, yes, Christina Aguilera. Yeah, I love Christina Aguilera, her music, and also Stripped was my favorite album. It was such a beautiful, beautiful album. Anyone that listens to that album, she’s just a musical genius. Even some of her more recent things, the 2010 album I thought was beautiful. I love listening to that in the car. But 2002 was just such a weird time because we just had 9-11 a year before, and anyone here in Northern Virginia had the D.C. Sniper, which was a horrific tragedy. So I just really drew from that time. That was such a fun time being young, carefree. And so I just love roses. I use it in all my paintings. I love roses. The secret’s out. If I can’t ever think of a background, I’ll definitely use a rose instead. I love roses. They’re literally the sign for infinite beauty and everything glamorous in the world. And I use them all the time. And I had a piece I just created that was off of Adam and Eve, which is another biblical reference, and that had gardens of roses as well just because it was beautiful. Whenever I think of rose, I think of the beauty of community.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Roses are my favorite, too. What message do you hope viewers take away from your paintings?
Daniel Redfern: I hope they see that I combined old materials with new fresh takes on things and that I have a great reputation. I think I want to reach the right audience for this particular painting. And I love Beverly Hills. I travel there quite often. I have friends in the city council. So I just hope to reach the right audience as well.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Every piece does have its perfect buyer. How do you ensure a commissioned piece aligns with a client’s vision?
Daniel Redfern: Usually my clients give me photos for reference, and I take certain elements from each photo and I mock it up. I draw it and then I sketch it out and paint. I knock on wood and haven’t had any changes ever. But in my professional life as a brand manager, I’ve had millions of changes. So, you know, I think clients are much easier to deal with because I know them personally. And new clients, I, of course, have an intake meeting with them, and I hear and listen to all their concerns and what they’re looking for. But my pieces are unique. They’re larger. They’re imported paper from the United Kingdom. It’s definitely not your Plaza Art Supply paper. It’s very expensive, resilient, you know, rice paper canvas that will outlast me, for sure.
Beverly Hills Magazine: That’s excellent. You mentioned you haven’t needed revisions, likely because your work exceeds expectations. Why do you think art holds such value?
Daniel Redfern: The value of art is, for me, priceless because it’s so subjective, you know? And also, it’s immortal, too.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Yes! It’s immortal. Like a family portrait, that’s going to live on through generations. That’s why it’s so valuable. And just in general, you know, I can see a piece and fall in love with it, and I absolutely have to have it, you know? And so that’s why I love art because it’s just such an intangible value. What advice do you give to aspiring artists about getting started?
Daniel Redfern: I get messages from people all across America, which is so touching. They’re like, how can I get started? And I said, just start, you know, make a portfolio, make a website, make a business card, but write all your ideas down and just start executing. Don’t even wait for feedback or criticism. Just start, and then you can build your portfolio and go from there.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Nike really figured it out. Just do it. It’s about taking that leap of faith. When you have a God-given talent like yours, you have to use it because sharing it aligns with your divine destiny. Do you believe art is innate or learned?
Daniel Redfern: I definitely think art, I think it can be taught to some degree, but I think you’re either just born with it or you’re not, in my humble opinion. It’s like singing. Some people just, they have it and they don’t. Exactly. Playing piano. Some people are just like, wow. And other people, you know, they really have to learn and study and they just can never get to that level of playing.
Beverly Hills Magazine: How long did it take to build your art business, and how did you handle naysayers?
Daniel Redfern: It took me 15 years to build my business on the side. I always worked full-time at very high stressful jobs for large companies. And it just, you know, I always did it as a side hustle because my boss would be like, oh, you must be daydreaming again. I was like, well, I have all these images in my head. What do you want me to do about it?
Bevery Hills Magazine: Along my path I used to have people that I was working for. You know, they sort of say little comments that would normally discourage you, but I think that we have to pursue our dreams. We have to, no matter how difficult. It’s not easy, you know, but it’s still worth it when, like they say, overnight success takes 10 years, right? So you have to put in the hard work that kind of earns the success, if you know what I mean. It’s part of the journey. How do you decide on the price of you artwork?
Daniel Redfern: I literally created like 5,000 pieces of art, and only two have really made it to the big time. Like one is $9 million in value. The other one is $30 million, and that’s a time. That did not happen overnight, not at all. I have a list on my website, which is DanielRedfern.net, and that list is just the base pricing. Some of my larger sizes start at like $8,000, and then I usually build upon that. If there’s five people or ten people, people take a lot of time. Usually for landscapes or things like that, things that aren’t too intricate, they’re averagely fairly priced for the materials I’m using.
Beverly Hills Magazine: You’re an entrepreneurial artist. How do you balance the creative and business aspects?
Daniel Redfern: I think the business obviously came from my grandmother. She was very entrepreneurial. She worked for LA County School for 40 years. She raised three children. She was a go-getter. She came to Los Angeles in the 20s at the height of the Spanish flu pandemic, and she was a go-getter. She did not take crap from anybody, and she raised three kids on her own. She was my everything. She taught me actually how to paint and draw. My parents, they were in Guam for a brief time in the early 90s, and I would stay with my grandmother, and she would sit down and say, okay, you’re going to be a big success one day, and just go for it.
Beverly Hills Magazine: I love that she spoke that over you. Our words have power, biblically speaking. We must encourage ourselves and others, despite criticism.
Daniel Redfern: I think especially in social media, anyone that can post a piece of artwork and stand back and have a total random stranger comment on it, I think you’re stronger than you know.
Beverly Hills Magazine: What has been the most rewarding moment in your artistic career so far?
Daniel Redfern: I would say definitely the appraisal process has been very interesting for me because I in my head as an artist and creator have a range, and it’s like a nice, normal range, but then I’ll present something to the appraisal house, and they’ll be like, okay, that’s going to be $10 million, $15 million. I’m like, wait, what? What’s happening right now? It’s priceless. You can’t put a price tag on that. Again, some of the criticism I have faced is, wow, you’ll never find a vendor. Well, we live in the richest country in the world, so that does not faze me. I’ve had billionaires email me and call me at 3 in the morning because there’s a time difference between the zones. I just really want to support everyone I can along this journey of mine, and so the Naturalist Gallery was my go-to because I’ve sold so many pieces of them in the past, and they’ve been great and very flexible. So whoever helps you along the journey, you really have to go back to them full swing and help them as well.
Beverly Hills Magazine: How do you stay motivated and inspired in your work?
Daniel Redfern: I do love it. I just love it. I’ve always loved it. I definitely get my inspiration from architecture. So just thinking back to San Francisco being five or six years old, going up here, then seeing all those skyscrapers, or in D.C. seeing the 100-year-old federal buildings that are beautifully draped in gold and carrot, and even undergraduate when I was at the George Washington University through the Corcoran School of Arts and Design, that building is 200 years old. And so I would always get my inspiration from the chandeliers or the marble floor and the marble facades, and D.C. is just my visual mood board. I just go walking. I love the National Gallery. They see me almost every weekend. And I love getting involved with them. It’s beautiful. And so it really just places like that. And California is the epicenter of beauty, and that’s where my journey began. So traveling between the two states has really been a blessing because I get the best of both worlds, and I have two great, wonderful states of homes.
Beverly Hills Magazine: How has your approach to the art business evolved over time?
Daniel Redfern: That’s a wonderful question. I really just jumped in. I knew about 10 years ago I told my sister, I want to be a full-time artist, and she had nothing. She didn’t want me to do it. But she said definitely work full-time and have it at the highest level. I’m really glad I listened to her advice. And I get approached all the time about the books, commissions, but you have to be careful because you don’t know where people are from. That’s why I’ve reached out more recently to the Appraisals and the galleries. I’m like, here, can you tell me what you think this will be listed for? And I’ve loaned out a couple paintings to some art galleries across the nation. That’s been really fun because I don’t know if they’re going to sell, but at least they’re in galleries and other places. And so I really just jumped in. I definitely look to the established institutions to guide me. I don’t try to do anything on my own yet.
Beverly Hills Magazine: That’s smart. What advice would you give to other emerging artists about building a business in the art world?
Daniel Redfern: I would say your elevator pitch is your best friend because you could be in the elevator at the Sotheby’s building in New York, and if you have two or three minutes to pitch yourself, you’ve got to get that down flat. And that’s definitely been a challenge for me, but I’ve definitely aced it over the years for sure. You’ve got to not be afraid of a little self-promotion. And no is not the final answer. It can be no now, but in six months when the economy recovers, they could call you. You just never know.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Yeah, even though no’s can be painful, I always see them as one step closer to the yes, and I do believe that a lot of times it can just be a timing issue. So that gives you hope.
Daniel Redfern: And no is also a connection. You’re making connections with someone, and they may not say yes to your work, but they may remember your work from a year, and relationships in this business are everything.
Beverly Hills Magazine: Relationships in life are everything. Sometimes the stars just align, and I think God ordains a lot of that. Why do you think artists are great networkers?
Daniel Redfern: The best networkers are artists because they know everybody and they know how to hustle and do taxes, and we wear a lot of hats as artists, and so I always try to support other artists. If they have five followers, follow me and I’ll repost your reels. I’ll do what I can in my spare time. But we really are a network of American artists.
Beverly Hills Magazine: I love the artistic creative types. Daniel Redfern, thank you for sharing your incredible journey. We can’t wait to see where your art takes you next!
Daniel Redfern: Thank you so much.
