Since arriving at Cal Poly nearly 50 years ago, the central coast has been home. You’ll recognize familiar features of the local landscapes in my work. These inspire me daily. Using traditional Oil Techniques, I capture the feel of landscapes through details like a spray of ocean water, warmth of the sun, or the colors of the changing seasons.

As a Certified California Naturalist, it’s important for me to conserve these wild places for generations to come. I am a member of the Morro Bay Art Association and the Estero Bay Kindness Coalition. Please reach out with any inquiries, including commissions at nanxi.david@gmail.com
