About David

David is a multidisciplinary artist, beginning his creative evolution within the culture of HipHop. Becoming a street artist and muralist, a breakdancer, DJ and illustrator. 

He studied animation and creative media and found a joy in crafting small worlds and miniatures. Past professional experiences include being a scenic artist and an art and design technician, where he soon fell in love with large scale making, woodworking and textiles, as well as the process of teaching and supporting. 

David finds his flow when deep in a creative process and enjoys sharing the magic of such development with like-minded makers. His style is drawn towards looking at the conversation of materials and textures, how refined work can rest within the world of raw happenings and spontaneity. Where art can be a gateway to other realms of experience and internal or external transformation.
