David W. Fox

Originally from Washington, D.C., my family moved to the South in search of the "oil industry". After living in Houston and New Orleans, we moved to Berwick, LA , a small town at the mouth of the Atchafalaya River. It was there that I became inspired by the rich cultural and natural environment of French Louisiana.. The natural world remains the inspiration for my work. I have been working as an artist/designer/educator since the early 80's. After receiving an M.F.A. in Sculpture/Painting from the University of Colorado at Boulder and returning to Louisiana, I began my career in the arts as Public Information Officer for the Acadiana Arts Council and later served as Artist in Residence for Lafayette Parish School System. Educationally, I have conducted multiple teacher inservice and training workshops, worked with a variety of community organizations to produce performance props, public art works, and effects for special events. In 1997, I was honored with the prestigious Acadiana Arts Award for outstanding contributions to the arts in Acadiana. In my latest educational assignment for LPSS, I served as a Visual Arts Teacher for SPED, Gifted and Talented. In my design practice, I have specialized in site specific art works, stage and costume design, concept development and copywriting for educational, private and entertainment entities. My fine art has of late been focused on a series of abstract landscape paintings and revisiting the form I designed for the Pelicans on Parade public art initiative as well as a series of ceramic vessels inspired by exotic beasts.
