About David

2024 OTW Artist Baltimore County

I am a mixed Media Artist that gravitates toward Neo-Expressionism, texture and movement. I enjoy working with spray paint, modeling paste, oil and soft pastels along with charcoal, acrylic & oil paint to create a unique flow either in short burst or thick long flowing strokes.
The tools I use are mainly based on my mood at the time working on a piece, could be anything from a brush / trowel / paper towel, string or even fingers. I love to experiment by using different mediums.… more

Neo-expressionism

A Newfound Love. An almost graffiti like process with a suggestion of shapes, some recognizable- some not along with random markings and color. I especially love using the different types of Charcoal & Pastels. Oil/ Hard/ Soft Pastels that visceral feeling of mark making and blending colors.

The Art of Healing

The Art of Healing for me was a necessary journey that I needed to embark on. I was able to use color to express my feeling and sharp rigid strokes or long flowing ones to depict the mood I was in at that time. I look back now at these pieces of work and remember how personal they were to me and often wonder if other people see the same things I do.

The Sharp Edge Of The Shrinking Safe Space

( When you feel like your safe place is limited and conditional and you’re tired , scared and angry, the currents of life are too strong to process and you are forced to make a quick decision… do you reach out and grab the sharp edge of your safe place not sure if you’ll be accepted, understood, or even safe at all )

Creature Feature

Creature Feature started as a study of Mythical & Cinema Monsters and evolved into a Comedic rendition of Creative Creatures. The vivid colors are exaggerated as well as their individual backgrounds. Keeping it light hearted. In order to achieve a Cartoonish like quality some of these pictures have been colored in with Alcohol Markers.

Charcoal Life

Studies I have done using different types of Charcoal. From Willow stick to compressed and dust as well, using various applicators. I love the way you can make a definitive mark and then brush and feather it to make it a soft shadow.

Graffiti Art

Where it all started for me. Driving around the Streets of Baltimore in the 80's. Just Amazed with all the murals and artful lettering. This is my version of 80's Graffiti. My Happy Place.
