Occupaion: Artist/Painter Interests: Bonsai Biography: A very mixed bag..left home at 16, found myself in Naples, Italy. Lived in Europe (Italy/France) until 25...Naples, Rome...Paris, mainly. Love Paris! Attended Sorbonne while working as a bartender, street artist (sideways chalk art)..Palled around with the likes of Ginsberg, Orlofsky, Baldwin and learned a lot from those cats. Whew! Back in usa attended San Francisco Art Institute (MFA Painting). My most influential instructors were Richard Diebenkorn , Hassle Smith, Jack Frost. I have been a "professional" painter ...whatever that means...since 1970. And that's enough of that. Website: http://5-DAVID-MARTIN.ARTISTWEBSITES.Com
