Award-winning artist David Castle was born in Denver, Colorado in the autumn of 1967. After a typical carefree suburban early childhood, David was uprooted to a farm in southern Missouri where he began his rather nomadic life.
After years of hard work on a rural farm - learning everything from how to castrate calves to how to grow organic asparagus - David honed his skills working with his hands by a few years of building the family log home in North Idaho. David finally escaped to college in Phoenix to study the computer sciences of the 1980’s. Thus began his first career as a computer scientist, developing software and managing projects for clients across the USA and Europe. During his time working for a tech consultancy, David lived in Denver with extensive travel to both coasts and relocated to Germany and Belgium for 4 years. David’s introduction to making art and painting came while living and working in Brussels where he took his first painting class in 1993.
Nearly a decade later and back in Denver, David’s high-tech job was eliminated and he began his journey in his second career as a professional artist.
David has since discovered that his art is inspired by the variety of mountain and urban terrain he explored throughout his extensive travels in North America and his years of living, working and traveling throughout Europe. David draws from his exposure to the colors and shapes of these very different places as he combines paper, brush, water and oil, color, air, surface tension and gravity to create each painting.
As a constant innovator and experimenter, David's painting process inspires him nearly as much as his beloved trees and coastal horizon lines comprised of sea and sky. Now based again in Denver, Colorado, David continues his own multi-layered techniques for abstract painting as he mixes oil paints, pure pigments and watercolors. 
Over the years, David has studied with a variety of artists in North America and has completed a variety of large-scale commissions for private and corporate collections throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and England and Australia.
