David is a Christian artist creating Art of the Spirit in the tradition of

the master painters.  His current work results from an intersection of

interests - a love and knowledge of history, of nature, of art and

artists, of the Anglican Church, and of Celtic spirituality. 

 Before he became a Christian he painted landscapes and

wildlife.  Even then, he had a sense of God's presence everywhere.

The sense of God's presence in his paintings was enhanced after

his conversion.  A trip to England provided an epiphany, and he

began to create paintings of the great Anglican monuments built

 by man to the glory of God - from the grand medieval cathedrals to

the simple but loved parish churches. 

     David is a self-taught artist, who first used his talents to draw

anatomy as a pre-med student.  He has illustrated natural history

books and magazine articles, designed and painted wall murals,

done theater set design, and created children's books. 

     David lives with his wife in the mountain town of Grass Valley in Northern California.

He is a classically trained violinist and frequently accompanies the parish choir at

Trinity Episcopal Church.  He also enjoys Scottish Fiddling, which he has studied

in this country and in Scotland.  Other interests include fossil hunting, history, and travel.
