Dane H. Chinnock is a working artist who resides in Georgetown, Texas.
However, he grew up in Tucson and Prescott, Arizona where, as a child, he recalls
the scent of his mother’s oil paints. A deep love for everything Southwest - from
the deserts to the high plains, the pine forest to the riparian creeks and canyons;
as well as the historic adobe barrios to the city streets and alleyways - these are
the passions that inspire him still.
In 2010 Dane began to hone his skills and deepen his love for painting under the mentorship of local legends, Paul Abbott and the late Bob Knudson. Finally in 2017 he began a full time art career with a jury selected entrance into the prestigious Phippen Art Show in Prescott, Arizona in which he won Southwest Art Magazine Award of Excellence . He was later featured in the same publication as an Artist to
Follow . In 2022 he won the People’s Choice Award and the Best ‘Beyond’ Landscape Award in the 4th Annual Prescott Plein Air Festival. Dane was awarded
First Place in Oil Painting and Best of Show at the 50th Annual Phippen Art Show in May of 2024. Additionally Dane was honored by being the Featured Artist in the highly distinguished Southwest Art Magazine. The piece showcases a number of his most recent works, along with an in depth interview. Most recently Dane received the People’s Choice Award at the 52nd Annual Phippen Art Show in May of 2026.
“To express the beauty of creation through painting and in turn have someone moved emotionally by my painting is my reward.” ~ Dane H. Chinnock
