About My Art:	J David Welch I was born in Wilmington, NC in 1976. Growing up all over the east coast exposed me to many different cultures, people and landscapes. I am a totally self taught artist starting as a child sketching anything and everything with pencil; then moving into pen and ink comic book character design. As a teenager I began clay sculpting in addition to charcoal portraits. I loved the creative expression that art allowed me to have no matter what medium was available. No rules just the quiet bliss of my imagination. I have done many murals including one featured at the School of Communication Arts to honor the families affected by the 911 attacks. I have also done character design work for animated film shorts and comics. Most of my work now involves watercolors and acrylic paints capturing the beauty of the natural world while others reflect the movement of life whether cultural or social. I now live in Sanford, NC with my wife, Karen and sons, Gabriel and Israel, working from my basement laboratory. I can be reached for charcoal portraits; murals; original paintings and character design at jdwelchideastolife@gmail.com . Some work can be viewed at http://www.daggerroom.com/jdwelch/.
