Sculpture by David Deming
David Deming, Sculptor and past President of the Cleveland Institute of Art, shares stories of passing it on - sharing life's gifts that come to those who create work woven with wisdom, hope, caring, and compassion. As an educator, David's philosophy is to expose people to the power of creativity.
David describes a personal story of unexpected generosity that helped shape his career. As a practicing artist and well-known sculptor of busts and contemporary figures, he's made social connections to people whom he might not ordinarily have met through his work.
This is in a large part because of his interest in connecting with people and a preference to have his art lived with - in someone's home or yard - rather than confined to the isolation of an artist's studio.
