Dan Petersen

Dan Petersen received a Master of Arts degree in watercolor from San Jose State University in 1962.  Following graduation, he began teaching art on the high school level in Manteca, California.  In 1963, Dan accepted a position as watercolor instructor at Modesto Junior College and thus began a 40-year career in teaching watercolor and drawing at the college level.

Dan married his wife Carole Ann in 1958, has 4 children and 10 grand children.  Retiring in April of 2003, Dan now enjoys more time with his family, in his garden, in the studio, and traveling.

Dan was part of the original group to form the Manteca Mural Society.  He brought his expertise as an artist to the table and was instrumental in getting this organization off the ground.

Dan also provided us with one of our most stunning murals, "Sierra's Crown".  Using new technology, we were able to have one of his completed watercolors made into a digitally painted 17' by 13' mural.
