David H. Bollman has been a professional artist for the
last 30 years and hopefully will continue to create and
inspire for the next 30 years.
David's career began in the 7th grade when he took a
correspondence course in taxidermy where he learned
about anatomy, forms, and structure. He credits his
years of taxidermy as a major influence in his ability to
paint the details that he paints.
He has won many awards with his art but is most
pleased to be known as a sporting/wildlife artist.
David feels as an artist one has to adapt to the "market."
Therefore, wildlife art is not his only strength. One of his
specialties is painting large scale murals and portraits.
His subject matter has become diversified to include 3-D
sculptured art such as the "Badge of Honor" in front of the
Sterling Heights Police Department, as well as the waterfall
fountain inside the Sterling Inn Hotel. David has been
commissioned to paint several murals and decorative
art in homes and businesses.
Some of his hobbies include gourmet cooking and taking
care of "Redneck" his orphaned red squirrel. David also
loves to sing praise and worship at his church, thanking God
for his many gifts and talents. He loves being a dad and
husband, especially when the family can get together
outdoors fishing, hunting and hiking together.
