Originally from Seattle, David Race has called Mississippi home for a number of years. After a period serving in the Navy, he enrolled at the University of Mississippi, where he earned his B.F.A. While there, he developed his painting style of multiple layers and tones of paint. He enjoys trying to capture the ephemeral effects of light with sketchy, frenetic strokes of his brush. Enhancing his technique and exploring new compositional possibilities fill his day.
