Daniel Lewis is an Australian artist and filmmaker.
Having graduated in 2016 from Griffith Film School, Daniel has since gained experience across a number of film and television projects in varying scale and genres in both Australia and the US. In 2017 he moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a workshop technician and fabricator for the Haas Brothers fine art studio where he honed numerous manufacture and design skills. Daniel’s full-time role as a workshop technician and fabricator has given him the confidence and skills set to effectively operate and adapt to all manner of creative work.
