“Structures and geometric forms in the Raleigh skyline have a similar feel to the Western sky I love. You can see forever, and it takes you into the horizon.” — David Shingler

Whether painting a Western landscape or a Raleigh cityscape, oil painter David Shingler finds inspiration from the colors, patterns and compositions he spots in the landscape. Prior to moving to Raleigh in 2013, Shingler lived in Denver, Colorado. There, he fell in love with the Western landscape—from the impactful mountains to the captivating sky. His painting style creates a sense of depth that places the viewer in the scene. Originally from Tallahassee, Florida, Shingler received his bachelor’s in fine arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He has received the First Agnes Gund Memorial Traveling Award for international travel, among other awards. Shingler has exhibited work in Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. In addition to original paintings, Shingler also accepts commissioned work.
