Born in Florida in 1974 (an original Florida man) I was adopted by 2 loving parents. Soccer was my main focus as a youth, playing in a professional league while still in high school, but I’ve always been an artist at heart.

Married 21 years in Durham to my great love Abigail, we have 5 children between us. 3 adult children and 2 teenagers together.

Mental health challenges and the advice and love of my wife pushed me into creating DAILY as a form of therapy around 2009. By 2017 I was willing to show my work to the public.

I paint with emotion and without respect for normality. Having never taken an art class I’ve learned to show depth, feeling and passion through my OWN methods. My bipolar disorder determines what this means, so many paintings are quite different but most with a healthy dose of pareidolia. With heavy texture, dots, manic strokes or even sculpture work, my work is easily recognizable as an original David Underwood.
