Born September 10, 1981, in Greeley Colorado, raised in Loveland Co,
David began drawing and sculpting at a very young age. He was brought up
in a home where art was highly accepted and his creative mind had free
reign. He began creating creatures of the unknown and unseen while still
in elementary school. Then, in high school, he started working in art
studios around Loveland where he was immersed in all aspects of
sculpture and the lost wax process. Since then, David has been published
in Amazing Figure Modeler Magazine, Churn an art & music magazine, and
featured on Keith Wigdor Presents Surrealism Now and has shown in many
art exhibits. David's art is featured in both public and private
collections throughout the USA, as well as England, Canada, Russia, Hong
Kong, and Australia. His sculpture has even been recognized by the great
and talented movie director, Guillermo Del Toro. Embracing
life-death-rebirth, David's sculptures are very primordial in thought
and have very powerful significance. David has dug down into his
unconsciousness to unearth deep seeded emotions and thoughts, bringing
them to the surface of his reality and giving them life and permanence
on earth.
David has been a freelance artisan since graduating high school in 2000,
working in all areas of art: sculpting, molding, casting, painting,
design, metal fabrication, welding/chasing, and wood work. He has worked
with some of the greatest sculptors of the 21st century: Kent Ullberg,
Fritz White, Dan Ostermiller, Dan Glanz, Wayne Salge, and Randy Hand,
just to name a few. He has helped create some of the biggest monuments
seen here in America. David's business Creative Metal Works LLC opened
in 2005 and is still running full force.
I am bound to existence by
earth
As a child I played in the
dirt, covered in grass stains
Cold hard earth turned to clay
Dirt is alive
A life force to those who can
"dig it"
Who is in control?
Me or the clay?
We mold and create each other
My hands are the tools to this
trade
