About Dave

  • Over the past 30 years, I've transitioned from commercial photography to
    abstract art. My photography background taught me the value of light, form, and
    color while nurturing an early love for abstraction. I then integrated abstract
    ideas into my photography, resulting in new and dynamic abstract art.....right from the photos that were there in front of me for decades. And it all became an exploratory artistic journey that has now blossomed into a full fledged artistic style, balancing creativity, precision with spontaneity.

    So now I express my creative vision through painting, merging the discipline
    of photography with the freedom of abstract expression. I invite you to
    experience this evolving journey of art and exploration.

30 Years of Making Photos

Over the past three decades, I have cultivated a thriving commercial photography career—capturing everything from the pulsating energy of urban streets to the refined elegance of formal weddings. Yet, as I've often said,“every photo has a story,” and it is street photography that has always resonated most deeply with me.

Building on this rich photographic legacy, I have embarked on a new artistic journey into abstract art. My extensive experience has ignited a dynamic creative awakening, leading me to explore both traditional acrylic abstracts as well as “my own” unique and totally different style of abstract art, digital painting of photographs. By transforming photographs into vibrant abstract art canvases, I blend color, light, and emotion, fusing innovation with tradition to craft ever more compelling visual narratives.

Photos as a Basis for Abstract Art

I've spent over 30 years in commercial photography, capturing everything from vibrant street scenes to elegant weddings. Street photography has always been my passion, with every photo telling its own story.

About 20 years ago, I had an artistic breakthrough that led me to reimagine my work through digital painting—transforming my photos into dynamic abstract paintings where color, light, and emotion blend.

This evolution has merged innovation with tradition, opening a fresh chapter in my creative journey.
