Dave was born and raised in South Louisiana where the
rich culture of art, music and food are abundant. From an
early age he was creating art upon demand from various
holiday drawings for his mom to portraits of Duran Duran
for female classmates. Although he knew he wanted
drawing to be his occupation his naive practical mind
convinced him to pursue a degree in commercial art from
the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dave quickly
realized the difference between computer art and fine art.
He decided to change his major to General Studies but
continued to take as many art classes as possible to keep
his skills fine tuned.

Dave, also an actor, currently lives in Spring, TX and
spends most of his time scouting the Houston area for
auditions in theatre, film and TV.  To see Dave's acting

He continues to draw on a regular basis. He specializes in
charcoal and pencil portraits, however he is currently
experimenting with abstract and prismacolor.

He has also been contracted to paint a couple of murals
on bedroom and bathroom walls.... and beds?  Be sure to
