The Artist
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Born in Savannah, Georgia, followed by a move to Brooklyn, New York, David attended schools in Brooklyn and Savannah. He became employed by Savannah Iron and Fence at the age of 18 and worked as a Structural Steel Fabricator Helper. After working as a Helper for several years he learned the technique of welding and became a Welder and later a Structural Steel Fitter/Fabricator and Shop Team Leader. In 1994 Savannah Iron & Fence business dissolved and he worked at several other steel companies after that time horning his present skills and also obtaining additional skills required in the steel industry. In 1996 he obtained a position at Savannah Steel and Rebar as a Structural Steel Fabricator and within a year was promoted to Structural Steel Fabricator Shop Foreman. He has fabricated many large buildings and structures in Savannah and other states to include Oglethorpe Mall, Chatham County Public Schools, Savannah Christian Private School, Savannah Vocational Technical School, Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport, Department of Transportation State of South Carolina, and City of Savannah. He has also fabricated steel structures for several major businesses to include Colonial Oil, International Paper, Kemira, Gulfstream, Kroger’s, Coca-Cola, and Hyatt Regency. During his 30 years in the steel industry, David has obtained all the skills necessary to venture out in the art industry that include fabrication, sandblasting, painting, and welding.
David has a natural ability to be creative and this is clearly demonstrated in his contemporary artwork collection. With no formal training, he has created and designed sculptures and pictures made of regular steel and stainless steel for over 7 years. His creations and designs include shark, fish, butterfly, dragonfly, turtle, cross, hummingbird, sword, various ornaments and 3-Dimensional (3-D) pictures (palm tree, rose) etched in stainless steel. The technique used in all of his stainless steel collections derives various colors and forms, which means each collection is unique. He has also designed and created furniture (sofas, chairs, desks, tables, pedestals), fences, ornamental gates, burglary bars, and candleholders. David’s 3-D sculptures have obtained status from the U. S. Copyright Office in Washington, DC.
David is committed to art and the discovery of new and exciting ideas and techniques using steel. His contemporary artwork was featured in the October 2004 issue of the Coastal Antiques and Art Magazine published in Savannah, Georgia.
