David Simons - Artist Painter Copyright © David Simons - All Rights Reserved David Simons was born in Ontario, Canada in 1951. In 1984 he moved to Haifa, Israel to work as a construction supervisor on major projects at the Baha‘i World Centre. It was in Israel that he began painting with oils, at the age of 33. David is a self-taught artist. Having started as a watercolorist earlier in his life, he now prefers painting in oil. He is primarily a landscape artist but also enjoys still life and portrait painting. David has lived in Tubac, Arizona since 1993. His work has won acclaim in the southwestern United States and is collected internationally. David is a member of Oil Painters of America. He is also a distinguished Artist Member of the Tucson Plein Air Painters’ Society, and one of the founding members of PASSA (Plein Air Painters’ Society of Southern AZ). He is also a signature member of the American Impressionist Society. David teaches painting workshops locally. David is also a co-founder and a member of the advisory board of the Port Townsend School of Maritime Art. Artist’s Statement I consider myself a tonalist, rather than a colorist. I like to explore the subtle ways that light affects the landscape. I also enjoy color, but the value relation-ships in a landscape are what interest me most. Another quality that I like to emphasize in my oil paintings is the abstract nature of the landscapes that surround us. Oil painting for me is a meditative experience--essential to my well-being, and a necessary part of my life. Painting also brings me great joy, and, I hope, uplifts the hearts of those who view my work.
