Painter. Born in Bunker Hill, IL on June 14, 1876. At age three Daken made the cross-country trek with his parents to California. When he was nine he began to learn the trade of decorator and mural painter. He grew up in San Francisco and studied briefly at the School of Design, but was mostly self-taught.
By 1900 he was painting frescoes and decorating homes in the city. The fire of 1906 destroyed his studio on Van Ness Avenue and much of his early work. He soon opened a studio in Santa (showing 500 of 1319 characters). |
