Daniel K. Winn (born June 19, 1966) is a Vietnamese-American artist, curator, and philanthropist.
Early Life and Education[edit]
Winn was born in Biên Hòa, Vietnam and lived there until 1975 when his family escaped to California, during the Fall of Saigon. His family settled in Greater Los Angeles where Winn eventually attended the University of California, Irvine, earning a Bachelors of Science.[1] Winn then began medical school at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine with an intended focus in reconstructive surgery but left to pursue a career in art.[2]
Career as Curator and Artist[edit]
After leaving medical school, Winn began producing paintings and sculptures and opened a small frame shop and gallery in Southern California. By 1997, Winn owned galleries in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. That same year he founded Masterpiece Publishing and spent the next 20 years mentoring and promoting artists, curating exhibitions throughout North America and China.[3] During this time, Winn continued to refine his own style.[4] Since 2016, Winn's sculptures and paintings have been exhibited in the United States, Spain, China, and Vietnam.[5]
Winn has raised over $2 million for charities in the US and Asia. In 2018, Winn was knighted by Prince Waldemar of Schaumburg-Lippe in recognition of his philanthropic works.[6]
