David Egan Biography

United States, born 1986

David Michael Egan was born in Pueblo, Colorado.  He developed a love for mark and image making from a very early age, before he was in school.  As a young child, David's maternal Grandfather, who was an inventor, archeologist and painter, told David of his Uncle who had passed; he was in several films, including one of Davey's favorites,  The Crimson Ghost.  Upon his paternal Grandmother's passing, he discovered, in his family skeleton, that he had an ancient history in England, documented for almost 1000 years in a book he received from her.  There he discovered that such greats as William Turner and Sir Thomas Lawrence had painted portraits or dwellings of her family.  This inspiration, coupled with a love of his certainty of the afterlife, has led him on several spiritual adventures that have fueled his art since he began oil painting at 19. He started exhibiting in 2011.   He has had offers from the film industry, the government, and several titans of the street, some of which he accepted and some of which he declined.  He hopes you find connection and love in his art!
