inspired by his older brother’s amazing charcoal drawings and renditions of rock
music album art. He soon began to draw his own renditions using his own growing
collection of rock albums as models.
When David entered high school he was encouraged by his brother to take some
art classes. He took two classes, basic and intermediate art, from instructor Bill
Pugh. Bill introduced him to the technical world of art and the paintings of the
world’s great artists. Bill once said “Art is a lie that helps us realize the truth.” Bill
entered one of David’s Pieces entitled “Beethoven’s last Symphony” in the McKee
Student Art Exhibition and it received Honorable Mention. The majority medium
used in his work at this time was ink, watercolors and pencil.
He went on to study Art History in college and did a few pieces in ink on paper.
Art then took a back seat as he pursued his dreams of adventure in the Sierra
Mountains and Pacific Ocean. He brought along some cameras during the trips
and now a few of the pictures are included in his portfolio.
In the winter of 2003/2004 life changing events were a catalyst for his deepest
exploration into his world of art and his own mind. He now writes, creates a new
age photography and is painting part time rendering colorful abstract
expressionist images in watercolor on canvas. “abstract art and creative writing”
he says “gives me the extreme freedom I need to express feelings in my mind but I
am not always in control” “I’m trying to get away from the darker undertones
some of my work might portray but sometimes it seams as if my hand paints and
writes all by itself” “I don’t really understand it but I’m having fun again”.

myself, and
nothing else is, I
am alone, and it
scares me.
I never really
experience myself
as I really am
because I am
always becoming
what the future
has for told for me.
As soon as I think I
have it figured out
I have already
changed to some
one I don't really
know all that well."
