Artist Biography: Bud Daniels

R.G. “Bud” Daniels (b. 1929) lived a rugged Alaskan life before turning to painting in his later years. After a diverse career spanning boat building, commercial fishing, and service with the Crater Lake Park Service, Daniels retired to Washington. Following the loss of his home and art in a 2003 fire, he began painting scenes that captured his memories of Alaska’s working coast.

Daniels’ gouache paintings, often framed and exhibited by the Scanlon Gallery in Ketchikan, combine precise architectural renderings with emotional authenticity. His works preserve fading moments of life along the Pacific Northwest waterfront—rich in personal history and regional pride.
