Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, David Gluck currently resides in Duncan, BC, Canada, with his wife Katherine Stone where he works as a full time painter and tattoo artist. He received his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Art Education from Penn State University in 2006, following which he immigrated to Canada to continue his career as an artist.
“As a landscape painter, my work does not necessarily intend to reaffirm a specific place or time, but rather aims to create a unique otherworldly experience. Through soft luminous colours, textures, and dreamlike compositions, I hope to create a sense of wonder and serenity for the viewer. I want to invite them into a space that may not be familiar, but is welcoming none the less.
Much of my work is done in studio as opposed to plein air over many days, weeks, or even months. I find my process takes many layers to create the intended effects, so I am often rotating through many works at the same time. “
