Daniel John O'Neal is a painter from Stevens Point, Wisconsin known for his meticulously rendered realist work in oils. He received a BFA from Western Illinois University in 1978, and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983. In 2003, at the age of 47, O'Neal suddenly lost most of the vision in his left eye to macular degeneration. Despite this devastating event, O'Neal persevered in the studio and has returned to painting full time.
