In the artist's words: "My pieces unite Baroque movement, abstract expressionist gesture and Asian decorative spirit with a commitment to my own gentle whimsical voice. Whether the work is my figurative sculpture or my drawings in clay, I create pieces that are sometimes serene, sometimes playful, but always captivating and inviting with their gestures and expressions. With a calligraphic stroke or the folds of ribbons of clay, I capture my figures in ordinary tasks or movements that take on extraordinary depth of contemplation or of joy."

David's early professional career in New York City included operating a Bronze Foundry as well as working on Architectural Restoration projects in Central Park.
Throughout the past twenty years, David has offered his sculpture and clay drawings at top-tier juried fine art festivals and craft shows. He has completed commissioned pieces for both residential and commercial settings in the United States and internationally, as well as for purchase by town governments. He currently lives and works in Massachusetts.
