David Schuster was born and raised in Louisville, Ky.,where he received a solid foundation in visual art at Trinity High School. He continued his studies and began his professional career as an artist at the University of Virginia. He has since become an accomplished painter, working in several genres including: portraiture, figurative, landscape,animal and mixed media. David has murals and paintings in both private and corporate collections across the country.
The techniques and skills that he has acquired, in conjunction with a keen interest in teaching led David to a second career as an art instructor. He began offering private classes in drawing and painting in June of 2003. David’s background in Cognitive Science allows him to take a unique approach to teaching painting and drawing. "I focus on teaching my students about perception, and how the brain processes visual information. I strive to change the way in which they observe the world around them. Art Instruction provides a forum for me to teach novices the joy of the creative act and to help other artists improve their own artwork. I find that in the process of teaching, my own skills are honed and my love for painting and drawing is renewed." David owns and operates David Schuster Fine Art,where he teaches, creates, and shows his artwork.
