Artist's Reception: "Portals & Portmanteaux" Daniel Hales' Travel Collages

Daniel Hales is a Greenfield artist, writer, musician and teacher. He began collaging in junior high, covering the walls of his bedroom. Since then, his collages have been exhibited on the walls of many other rooms and galleries, including ArtSpace, Looky Here, the LAVA Center, The Discovery Center, and Sonelab. Currently two of his collages are in Hampden Gallery’s Triennial Exhibition at UMass Amherst: Reflecting on the Past / Dreaming The Future, a show juried by Nick Capasso, Director of the Fitchburg Art Museum. His collages have also appeared on the album covers of his band: The Frost Heaves & Hales, and on the front and back covers of his second full-length book of poetry: *How To Tie & Untie Mist* (Frayed Edge Press, 2025).
