SNAKE IN THE GRASS / TUSCANY Photograph

David is an artist/commercial photographer/educator. His fine art sculpture, printmaking work, and photography has been shown both nationally and internationally. David has lived and worked both in Santa Fe, NM. and Tuscany Italy. He is currently living and working in Santa Fe, NM. ARTIST STATEMENT My impetus for making art is to explore the mystery and magic of the creative process as a tool and challenge to better understand who I am and my relationship to the world around me. My motivation is to translate and share my experiential relationship with the viewer through the language of light, form, and texture. My goal is to create visual metaphors much like a poet uses the written language. Beyond aesthetic considerations such as color, value, and composition what I strive to reveal through my artistic endeavors is the quintessential nature of the subject at hand.
