About David

David has been a lifetime resident in Baltimore. He is a self taught wood sculptor. He made the transition from cabinetmaker to sculpture in the early 1970's He currently works in the graphics department of a printing company in Baltimore. David works a night shift, and spends the daylight producing art.
