David was born and
raised in Wichita, Kansas, graduating from Rocky
Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado. He went
on to attend Colorado State University. Since he’s been
a long time professional musician and actor, it only
seemed natural to try his hand at painting too. So in
1996 he started oil painting, exploring and selling work
covering an assortment of subject matter. But when he
did his first plein air landscape in 1999, he was
hooked! He credits his development as a painter to the
valuable time he’s spent with Michael Lynch and also his
assistance at several workshops given by the Plein Air
Painters of America. John David Phillips and George
Strickland also get extra-special consideration!
In 2001, David’s work
was accepted into the Top 100 of the prestigious Arts
for the Parks competition in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He
was featured in the February 2004 Southwest Art
Magazine’s “Artists to Watch” column and also in their
February 2009 Landscape issue. And, in 2006, David was
made an artist member of The Rocky Mountain Plein Air
Painters, receiving an award of merit. David says “ I
simply love to paint and I’m devoted to improving with
each piece. Chasing down the great artists, past and
present. It never ends and I love it!”
David’s paintings can
be seen in fine art galleries in New Mexico, Montana,
Wyoming and Colorado.
