About The Artist

I have been painting since the 1980's, starting in Oakland Ca. then finishing my fine arts major at Sonoma State University. My main inspirations were Kandinsky, Calder, Miro and teachers Jay Defeo an William Morehouse. Abstract painting is a language of its own and many other Artists have inspired me. After leaving school I became a house painter and got my contactors license. I learned to paint Murals and do Faux finishes which I found profitable living in Los Angeles. I recently relocated to Oregon to escape the noise and haste of LA. I never quite making my art all the years I spent as a contractor. You can see my work at davidwdouthat.com.
