Dan Danielson’s fascination with watercolor began at The American Academy of Art, studying under well renowned artist Irving Shapiro. After an exciting career in advertising, Dan began painting and teaching. His award-winning work has been seen in many watercolor exhibits. Dan continues to develop his colorist, regionalism style, while allowing the medium the freedom to reveal its unique qualities of brilliance and fluidity. Capturing the medium’s translucent elegance and strength is an ongoing odyssey and “a heck of a lot of fun”. Dan teaches at the Dupage Art League in Wheaton and other regional art groups.
