About David
Retired after 40 years of partnering an historic restoration business in the greater Boston area, I rediscovered a passion for creating. Most of these works are based on years of doodles, in notebooks from college, and deskpads from boring jobs. I also like to use photos I’ve taken, and modify them. I can lean toward the bizarre at times, as you will see in the eyes and worms series.

The Process
I like the feel of creating with physical tools as opposed to a keyboard. I’m impatient with the process and am more interested in the results. Hence some of my work may make you think “My kid could have done that.” Maybe. Maybe I’m
just a kid at heart!
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is a way for me to slow down and pay attention to the world around me—finding beauty in nature, color, patterns, and unexpected details. This collection brings together the images that have caught my eye, along with some playful experiments in seeing things a little differently.
