Daniel Stern is a man with many titles: Artist. Actor. Sculptor. Philanthropist. Writer. Director. Entrepreneur. Community Leader. He seamlessly and effectively incorporates all of these identities and passions into his art, with the precision and innovation that has become synonymous with his work. Of all his roles, however, his most cherished title adds a distinct playfulness and joy to his sculptures: the role of Father. It is the love that he has for his three children that motivates and moves him to create work that inspires, uplifts, and engages the viewer with the unexpected, humorous side of the human condition.

Community service is also at the forefront of his passions. In 2009, President Obama awarded Daniel Stern and his wife, Laure, The President Volunteer Service Award for their dedication to public service and social issues. One of the founders and former President of Malibu Foundation for Youth and Families, he helped establish Boys & Girls Club of Malibu, serving thousands of teens both during school and throughout the year at an onsite facility.

Mr. Stern is best known over the last 30 years for his roles in iconic television and film including Diner, Breaking Away, Home Alone and City Slickers, and as the voice of the narrator on The Wonder Years. But recently, he has shifted from the spotlight to the art studio, swiftly gaining notoriety and accolades for his work as a sculptor. His work has been exhibited throughout Southern California in such places as the Tracy Park Gallery, Malibu, the Very Venice Gallery, Venice and the L.A. Contemporary Gallery, Culver City.

Stern’s work was commissioned by San Diego Port’s Public Art Program, “Urban Trees 7,” a continuing outdoor art exhibition created to invigorate the pedestrian promenade along the San Diego Bay area.  His larger-than-life piece, “Handstand,” was widely celebrated there, and a second example is included in the Pasadena Rotating Public Art Program at the Sunset & Mountain Street exhibit. His sculptures were also selected for public exhibit in Toledo Ohio's Midwest Sculpture Initiative, Santa Rosa's Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, and Louisville Colorado's Art in the Park.

Most recently “Handstand” has been selected to be included in the Palm Desert “El Paseo Invitational Exhibition for 2013-2014”  (please see complete listing on the attached CV).  Additionally, the sculptor’s work is in many distinguished private collections.
