David Jester

born in Palm Springs, CA (1960) and raised in San Diego, I have always had a California esthetic. I moved back east to get my BFA from VCU and my MFA from Rutgers at Rutgers. While in grad school my work was focused on queer life, particularly in the time of AIDS. This current work leans more heavily on subtle metaphor while tackling serious issues. Of course,the viewer always brings their own meanings to the work, which is why I love Art.

MFA Rutgers University 1996
BFA Virginia Commonwealth University 1994
