Dane Khy lives in Columbus, Ohio where he works as a painter and muralist. Over the years, Dane’s creativity has taken many different paths. He started in the marketing industry as a graphic designer and animator while side-hustling as a video producer. In 2018 he began working as a freelance illustrator for national brands such as Apple, Chevy, and Peet’s Coffee. These opportunities eventually led him into the fine art and public art space. His murals and paintings are influenced by vibrant multicolored palettes, human behavior and our altruistic desire to connect with other species.
Dane finds value and enjoyment creating in his community and for the city of Columbus. He opens up his studio door at Chromedge during Franklinton Fridays to welcome aspiring artists and share resources that have helped guide him on his journey as an artist.
