Dan Dunn

Dan Dunn did not plan to become a global entertainment phenomenon. His teenage daughter posted a video of his painting performance online, and within weeks it had millions of views and a worldwide following. That was the beginning of Paintjam, his signature live painting experience that has since appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Super Bowl pre-game show, and television programs across the Middle East, Japan, and beyond.

Art as Live Theater

A Paintjam performance is not a demonstration. It is an event. Dunn creates large-scale paintings in real time, set to music, often building the image in a sequence that keeps audiences guessing until the final dramatic reveal. The combination of artistic skill, showmanship, and genuine unpredictability produces a reaction that video footage captures imperfectly. People have to be in the room.

Customized for Every Audience

Dunn regularly creates custom paintings tied to a company’s brand, theme, or honoree, turning a stage moment into a permanent piece of art the client keeps. His work draws on a background in painting, illustration, design, and caricature developed at Sam Houston State University, and his performances have been delivered for corporate events, galas, and conferences across the globe.

Dan Dunn’s Paintjam experience is booked for events seeking premium live entertainment, customized visual storytelling, and unforgettable audience moments that set a conference apart.
