About this artwork
“I use each bird depicted in the original “Field Guide to the Birds of North America”
( a book I adored as a kid) as a starting reference. But, my aim in each painting is to move beyond the traditional, scientific thought system and bird description, and allow another ‘system’ to take its place. This 'alternative system' is based on allowing what I would call my 'emotional center' to take over and express the birds in a non-verbal, more directly… expressive way, allowing the paint, itself, to have a say in the process. An intimate, expressive abstraction results (over two hundred painted , so far). Pushing the boundaries of what constitutes ‘a painting’, the entire group of paintings is considered an on-going singular piece, with paintings added as time goes by in the life of the painter - the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. “

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »
At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
