Daniel Cook was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and was a painter, etcher muralist, pottery decorator, scenic artist, and art instructor. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for one year before leaving for a year of study in Paris and Munich. After returning to Cincinnati in 1893, he worked as a decorator at Rookwood Pottery until 1895. He spent the next two and a half decades working as a sketch artist in New York and Europe. In 1919 he returned once again to Cincinnati where he taught drawing and watercolor at the University of Cincinnati. After his retirement, he moved to Mexico City in 1947.
