David Lawter

I was born in 1961 in Maryland at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. My dad was in the navy and we moved around the country a lot. I get my artistic interests and talents from my mother.

I am a painter with a studio in Peekskill, NY, one hour north of Manhattan. I've created many abstract paintings, but I have also been working on representative works focusing on sections of known paintings as new compositions.
