David Deming Bio
David L. Deming has enjoyed a successful career both as a sculptor and as a teacher and arts administrator. He has exhibited his sculpture in over 100 competitive and invitational exhibitions nationally and internationally with over 50 one and two-person exhibitions.
His sculpture is in over 100 public and private collections including:
The Columbus Museum of Art (Ohio)
The Arkansas Art Center (Little Rock)
The San Antonio Museum of Art (Texas)
Utah State University (Logan)
The David E. Davis Sculpture Park (Cleveland)
Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland)
Ashland University (Ohio)
One of his outdoor works was included in “American Sculpture Exhibition” at the White House in Washington, DC, in the First Lady’s Garden.
Most of Mr. Deming’s sculpture ranges from garden size to large outdoor abstraction in metal. However, since he began his career, his portrait work has paralleled his success as an abstract artist. These often very classic portraits represent corporate and political leaders like:
Jerry Sanders – Advanced Micro Devices
Anthony Rossi – Founder, Tropicana Fruit Company
Patric Parker – Co-founder, Parker Hannifin Corporation
Barbara Jordan
President George Bush
Winthrop Rockefeller
Jake Pickle – U.S. Congressman, Texas
