“The act of creating art has been the theme of my life.” Dave has been drawing, painting, designing, and making art for more than 50 years. He was trained as an architect in Minnesota taking art classes along the way at the University of Minnesota. “Architectural education focuses on design and to communicate a design idea for a building you need to master perspective drawing, composition, form, lighting, texture and color. These skills are common to the artist as well as the architect.” After graduation he continued his art training at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design. He worked as both an architect and commercial illustrator for several years in Minneapolis and before moving back to hometown Rochester, NY. He designed many buildings around New York while operating his architectural firm in Rochester for 26 years before merging with a large national firm in 2017. Dave retired from architecture in 2020.
