David Mercado

David Mercado is a self-taught artist who resides in Austin, Texas. Over the last 25 years, he has shown his work at various galleries and exhibitions across the country.

In the beginning, his imagery focused on the beauty and strength of the Southwest—a series that gained him national recognition by their popularity.
