In grade school, Daniel became engrossed in drawing. But after the 6th grade he didn't pick up a pencil again to create art until 1992. During the intervening years Daniel married and became a father. Daniel Watson, a Vietnam Veteran and college graduate with a social conscience, is doing a life sentence for murder. His paintings are commentaries on global issues from a California vantage point.
He studies art history and loves surrealism. Watson uses intense color deliberately to create an unreal atmosphere and to emphasize the drama.
