Daniel McRorie

Daniel McRorie is a young Metis artist, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, who is constantly looking for different mediums to create art and present his pieces in ways that are unusual and provocative. Dan’s body of work takes on many forms and includes designing and selling T-shirts at age 14, to building custom vintage cars and motorcycles, painting with water colors, acrylic or oil, home renovations, photography, orthopedic design and creation and most recently, tooled leather. Always an entrepreneur, at 24 years old, Daniel built and ran his own business called “These Boots Cobblery and Custom Leather”.

It was during this time, as he honed his craft, that Dan discovered his passion for the art form of tooled leather. To this day Dan is amazed at how the natural and raw product of leather can be sculpted and molded and will spring to life and capture the imagination of anyone who looks deeply into the fabric of the piece. No matter how much planning and design goes into each piece, Dan finds the leather has a way of bouncing off in its own direction and taking him along for the ride.
