The
work of artist and
designer David Carter
Brown is rooted in the
rich tradition of
American Folk Art.
Inspired by this
artistic legacy, David
re-explores classic
American imagery in his
paintings and designs,
retaining a sense of
past and adding his own
unique point of view.
In his artwork and
home furnishings
collections, David
creates designs that
reflect his passion for
authentic country
imagery. By combining
classic patterns and
motifs with his timeless
images, he forms his own
unique view of American
country design. Ranging
in subject matter from
the historical to the
whimsical, David's
artwork celebrates the
past. Working in
traditional materials,
he combines age-old
techniques, imbuing his
work with the textures
and patina of antiques.
His paintings are taken
from scenes of a
romanticized world, with
which he creates his own
personal vision of an
idealized America.
Born in New York
City, David, after
attending Parsons School
of Design, began his
career producing
handcrafted and
hand-painted designs in
the Folk Art tradition.
Since then he has
produced many licensed
collections in wall
coverings, china, and
accessories, all in the
country style. Working
from his studio in the
rolling hills of
Millbrook, New York,
David is constantly
inspired by his rural
surroundings, rich in
the traditions of
farming and American
country life.
