David Grant

I am a hybrid of fine artist infused with digital and print design expertise. I have type setting and design in my blood. My foundation started with the California Job Case & drafting in Jr. high school which has been honed by a diverse BFA. My studies were not limited but include black & white photography, sculpture, painting and graphic communication. I am a renaissance man. My professional Experience has been focused around management and leadership.

I have been a local artist trapped in Rip Van Winkle's sleep for sometime and I have recently emerged from my slumber picking up my calling in art. I recently created an LLC with the sole purpose of selling art and teaching the public painting as well as arts role in healing, recovery and the spiritual significance of the human condition and emotions. I am a local artist who has been painting off and on for nearly 40 years. My work primarily focuses on the human condition, spiritualism, the healing capacity of art with occasional landscapes and abstract imagery. I am a photographer, sculpture and primarily a painter. My imagery is inspired by Picasso, Van Gogh and Salvatore Dali. I was formally instructed in painting by Joan Kindt, Ron Weaver and Jeff Lipshitz at the University Wisconsin Oshkosh. Art can have a strong emotional connection from the artist to the viewer transcending verbal expression. I want to be a fireman. meaning my visual expression causes a revelation in spirit or consciousness for the viewer. Where 'a picture is worth a thousand words', I would like to be the artist whose picture causes any and all viewers to discover one word. My art is available on Etsy and I am offering Zoom based subscriptions tutoring individuals on the healing capacity of creation and emotional expression through color.
