welcome.

The All Souls Procession is an event that takes place in Tucson in the Fall.  According to their website it was created as a participatory event to mourn, reflect, and celebrate attendants ancestors and loved ones who have died.  Over the course of a weekend in early November, artisans and processors gather in celebration and remembrance of those who have passed on.  It ends with a parade of sorts with all the reverence of a candlelight vigil and the rowdiness of a street party.  For the last decade, David has attended and documented those he’s met by painting them.

David has been involved with medieval reenactment for the last 30 years.  During that time he has created a series of paintings documenting his experiences.  The goals of these paintings, however, have not been to recreate history.  Rather, they have been to record the act of reenactment.  His paintings show the experience of what it’s like to attend an event and document the characters he’s met along the way.

David has been fortunate enough to travel across Europe and elsewhere.  Each time he’s traveled, he has celebrated his trip with a painting, whether it be a cafe scene in London or Paris, bicycles in Amsterdam, or a street scene in Barcelona.

David’s paintings know no boundary.  Still-lifes, portraits, landscapes, and other subject matter are all in his portfolio.
