Daniel Armbrust is also an owner and managing director of the gallery. He has over 25 years of collecting experience having purchased his first piece of artwork for $150 at an art fair when he was 18. Over the years his collection has grown to include contemporary and modern American artist as well as contemporary Chinese artworks. This passion and love of the arts motivated Mr. Armbrust to open the Smart gallery and share his vision with other collectors.

He very much relates to artists and the artistic process likening being an entrepreneur to being an artist by creating something out of nothing but an idea.
