The Artist’s Statement

“A lot of my work comes from my spirit, from what’s inside. I draw a lot from my ancestry. My ancestors guide my strokes, and my work gives honor to their essence. For me, each piece of my work is connected with a strong sense of spirituality and I believe strongly that the more I create, the better my inner spirit becomes and the more I can extend myself to touch my viewers’ thoughts and spirits.”

Danny Broadway

Mixing layers of pigments with broad, energetic brushstrokes and vibrant colors, artist Danny Broadway
creates serene scenes that speak to the human soul.

Though Broadway has a quiet disposition, his art speaks volumes.

His creations span several media types reflecting an artist that is always in motion and striving to reach new heights with his talent.  Even as a youngster, Broadway connected with his inherent calling as an artist and has heartfelt memories of creating art. From then until today, Broadway has constantly sought new ways to evolve as an artist. His focus and passion has been evidenced by his dedication to his craft since high school when a dedicated instructor, recognizing Broadway’s diligence and desire, took Broadway under her wing.

Broadway’s disciplined, yet freely expressed, creativity led him to a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Memphis. There, the University chose to commission his paintings as a major feature of the University’s Black History Month posters for two consecutive years.

Broadway’s dedication to the community is evinced in the numerous paintings and art workshop sessions he donates locally and nationally. Often utilizing his artistic talents to rally support for charitable organizations such as The Memphis Child Advocacy Center, The American Liver Foundation, SOCKS, The American Heart Association, The March of Dimes, Friends for Life, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Memphis. Broadway currently serves as Artist in Residence at St. Georges Independent School where he provides budding artists with the same inspiration he discovered through disciplined creativity. Broadway’s strong artistic sense and steadfast commitment to the community also led Silver Starr Art Studios LLC (SSAS) to select Broadway as an SSAS Visual Fine Art Division In-House Artist. SSAS, which is an arts and entertainment consulting and design firm that selects artists based on a stringent juried process, offers a wide array of services dedicated to empowering artists, furthering artists’ professional careers, assisting the growth of businesses and non-profits, and ensuring that the global community experiences invaluable fine arts and entertainment endeavors such as those shared by Broadway.
