Noel Daggett was born in Phoenix, Arizona, the family later moved to San Francisco where Daggett began his painting career. Motivation, talent, energy led him to a scholarship at the California School of Fine Arts. Daggett's belief that there is a "universal motivation to life" is not only reflected by his personal action but through his brilliantly vibrant canvases. The prestigious Triton Press, New York, introduced two signed editions by Daggett, on Hot Air Ballooning. And in 1981 they also launched a Daggett poster on the same theme, which was distributed at Art Expo in New York. Daggeft participated by signing and remarking at this show, which is the world's largest art fair
