About our Juror

Daniel Marshall is a prominent watercolor artist currently based in Denver. Growing up on the East Coast and having previously lived in California, his work retains a strong connection to coastal life. His frequent travels to both coasts allow him the opportunity to keep these themes current in the wide range of subjects he enjoys painting.

Daniel has been an award winning professional artist and leading name in the tattoo industry since 1995, redirecting the majority of his creative energy to fine art painting in watercolor since 2013. He’s been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, American Art Collector and Plein Air Magazine. He is also a regular contributor, writing articles about plein air painting, experiences and watercolor instruction.

 Daniel is represented by the Huse Skelly Gallery on Balboa Island, California. 2019 brought Daniel his first formal Museum exhibition at the Nicolaysan Art Museum in Casper, WY.  Daniel is a much sought after instructor, teaching watercolor workshops regularly and doing demonstrations for art groups throughout the country. He has started a very successful online teaching program, and has two videos released through Creative Catalyst Productions and releases videos regularly on Vimeo.

He is an avid plein air painter, being inspired by and painting the majority of his works on location. This has helped him to develop a confident style with an immediacy and freshness infused into each painting.

ARTIST STATEMENT

"I strive to bring a sense of space and atmosphere, with a cinematic elegance and quiet sophistication to my work. Creating a poetic narrative, each piece telling a unique story, directly influenced by painting on location.”
