Dave grew up near the shore in southeastern Connecticut, where his love for the water first took hold. He began creating artwork as a child, with pen and ink illustrations of boats and ships, charcoal and pencil drawings, and still life and landscape oil paintings.
Dave took a long sabbatical to pursue a business career, but continued to satisfy his creative urges as a musician and author. His exposure to 3D modeling, used to create illustrations for his book, ultimately led him back to the artwork you see depicted here.

Dave would like to thank his friend and tutor Pete Stoppel (www.solos-art.com), without whom none of this would have been possible.
