Friday, I had the opportunity to see a lifetime of an artist who wanted to have a last showing here in Little Rock. Unfortunately, David Steigler passed before his dream could be fulfilled, so his relatives ensured his dream came to fruition. a lifetime of art well represented, speaking for itself.
As I am journeying now through technique classes including sketching this quarter, it was particularly insightful and meaningful to see samplings of his three decades of art.
His family ended up in Rogers, Arkansas where he was raised by his dad and sister after his Mom passed when he was ten. In the late 60's he got a B.A. in Fine Arts at the U of A in Fayetteville and moved on to NYC for the entirety of his life.
I wanted to share some of his color journey and hopefully you will want to have oneof his pieces in your home too. Pencil, ink, watercolors, acrylic and oil...
Here is the website to see/ask about his work.
Steigler's love shines through his voluminous body of work. And we were privvy to just one quarter of it as the remainder was divided between other relatives.
