Family of Three (2018) Sculpture by David Goecke

   From early childhood, David has had a fascination with creating art and making creative use of discarded things. His early days were about drawing and painting, moving into photography, modeling miniatures, and woodcarving, a craft dear to him that connects him to the father he lost as a teen. In more recent years he joined the welding trade and applied his professional skills in his art and creative process.
Today David creates art primarily with scrap metal, reclaimed and natural wood, and other found objects. His inspiration comes from bringing new life to the discarded and observing the beauty of decay in both the natural and manmade.
   Story drives David’s imagination. His father was a glib tongued story teller, and his mother read the works of Roald Dahl and Laura Ingalls Wilder aloud to him. Today he loves to read and write. In his representational art, David brings that sense of story and character to the figures and animals represented.
