David Merck

David has been painting and sculpting professionally since 1997. Some of his work can be seen in public places in North Carolina – most of his work is in private homes. Before pursuing art as a career on his own, he spent 15 years in the graphic arts business. He did everything from operating large multi-color presses, film and computer graphics, supervision and customer service to vendor management. He spent his final years in the industry as a technical trainer and corporate quality manager. His solid background in technical precision, color theory, composition and business certainly has strengthened his versatility in art and the business of art
