A Kingston native and a graduate of Queen’s (ArtsSci ’83), David is a visionary artist who is passionate about community. He is the creator of public art projects Froid’Art (#FroidArtKTown) and Jardin’Art ( #JardinArtKTown ) uniting art, artists, business and the public for the benefit of the entire community through art.
David’s work has a beautiful relaxed, impressionistic feel to it. Wonderfully painted, his work often reflects his love for simple childhood memories.
In 2015 he created Martello Alley. From the darkness of an old alley, David saw beauty and opportunity. He saw a relaxed, fun unique art gallery where art is shared, and where the public could see artists working on site. Martello Alley quickly became a top tourist attraction in Kingston because it was colourful and quirky yet approachable, proving that art and community can connect through creativity.
