David Price
b. 1966 Boise (grew up in Kirkland)
David Price is a 1988 Graduate of the University of Washington College of Architecture and Urban Planning. An obvious part of his schooling was drafting, drawing, and painting. Although spent the first part of his career designing fabulous spaces based on his client’s ideas, he decided to reveal his personal creativity through painting (his own ideas.)
Several years later, while still successfully growing his architectural business. his wife gave him a series of classes in encaustics and after honing his process, he began to sell his work and exhibit in West Coast galleries.
David uses his architecture and design background to form the foundation for his work with encaustics. He seeks to create something that is timeless yet familiar. He combines the concepts of refuge; or the basic human need to seek shelter with the idea of prospect; the hope that a broad prospective inspires.
David loves the encaustic process. Dating back to the Greeks in the 5th c, encaustic, which means “to burn in”, can be used in a wide variety of ways. David starts with the plaster ground, and tops it with layers of color and color infused wax that create the translucent depth , then finishes with a heat fusion that seals the image in time.
