Dan Belcher has been creating professional sand sculptures since 1990, learning from many pioneers of the art form, and now collaborating with a family of many of the best and most talented sand sculptors from around the World.
During this time, he has won 14 World Championships in the Team, Doubles, and Solo categories, and competed in scores of other contests and hundreds of professional projects across the USA and around the world. He loves the balance of the physical and creative sides of working with sand, and he is also a licensed Landscape Architect with a degree from Kansas State University.
Assisting him on this project is a friend and mentor from Versailles, Kentucky, Damon Farmer. Damon in not only a fantastic sculptor with decades of experience, he is also an incredible painter, in addition to his many other skills.
