Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, Daniel started his art
training as a fine art student at the University of Hawaii. Upon
moving to California in 1989, he attended Cypress College in
preparation for entry to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena;
there he further extended his art training. Daniel has been in
Portland, Oregon for 16 years where he currently lives with his
wife of 4 years, Sandra Wright. Influenced by the modern masters,
Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Chagall, it is his own
interpretation of each individual scene that sets his paintings
apart from typical landscape paintings. His unique and vibrant
style has been recognized by art aficionados at nationally
recognized festivals (as well as his ever-growing client list) from
coast-to-coast.Artist Statement:Daniel paints with imagination but
not from imagination. Each landscape painting is inspired from an
actual place. He creates composition in a simplified form with
designs of shapes and patterns found in the natural world. You
could speculate his designs are influenced by Fauvism. Daniel is a
colorist. With a dry-brush technique, he applies acrylic paints in
layers to develop bold vivid colors to bring out eye-catching
contrast in his designs. It is his own whimsical interpretation of
each individual scene that sets his paintings apart from typical
landscape painting.

The purpose of the Childrens Creative Zone is to allow local
arts organizations to expand their educational impact while
providing free, supervised art activities in a fun and creative
atmosphere to the diverse population of children attending the
Bayou City Art Festivals.
The Creative Zone for Children is hosted by some of Houstons
finest arts organizations. These organizations create and oversee
activities for children as an extension of their ongoing
educational programs:
Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA - Spangles that Dangle!
Encourages creation of the perfect Art Festival accessory Select
from an exciting assortment of beads and pendants to construct
Bayou City Keepsakes.
Young Audiences Houston- Aboriginal Dot Paintings! Volunteers
will help kids tell their stories with dots in an activity called
Aboriginal Dot Paintings. The craft simulates a style of art that
uses dots to form images like animals and symbols.
LemonadeDay.org! Teaches children to be entrepreneurs with big
dreams in a classic lemonade stand
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) - Linguist Staff! In some
cultures these messenger sticks were intended to remind the holders
of basic values and morals and thus prevent power from going to
peoples heads.
FotoFest - Custom Frames! Play in a familiar sandbox with kids
at the festivals, helping children to create Custom Frames to hold
their future artwork.
City ArtWorks - Colorful Critters! Let your imagination soar as
you create a colorful kite!
University Of Houston, Clear Lake - Art Gallery! Brings an
exiting Art Gallery to inspire our youth.
Orange Show Center for Visionary Art - Art Bus! Where kids can
