DANNY GALIEOTE IS A FINE ARTIST living and working from his home studio in Burbank, CA. He began his professional art career at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, where he was a traditionally trained Character Animator.

While at the Studios, Danny continued to study painting, the human figure and the American West. He grew up with horses at his parents’ farm and studied them at the Equestrian Center in Burbank. Danny also traveled to Italy and studied the masters extensively.
His work is infused with his love of Renaissance and the artwork of the 1930s-40s, American Regionalists and Golden Age Illustrators, such as Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Norman Rockwell and NC Wyeth. His art is in pursuit of capturing universal timeless themes of human nature. Danny has had many exhibitions and commissions worldwide.

Danny’s work is in prestigious Permanent Collections around the US, including the Hilbert Museum of California Art, and he’s painted several commissions for Hollywood film stars. Danny primarily exhibits with Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Pasadena, CA. His painting was featured on the Cover of Western Art Collector Magazine, December 2025. His work is uniquely coined as “POP AMERICAN REGIONALISM”
