David Seybold, born in Dunkirk, NY in 1968, gifted with an artist’s eye and hand even in his youth, first discovered oils at age eleven. It was that discovery that soon became a passion and life-long pursuit. In the development and refinement of that pursuit, David graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and teaching certificate in 1991.  With a growing passion for his art, and a desire to excel, he abandoned his teaching opportunities to pursue a life-long dream of being an independent artist. David’s initial exposure to the visual tapestry and raw winter anatomy of Pennsylvania, was vacationing with his family. David captures the moods, history, and subtle nuances of rural Pennsylvania through his depictions of old stone farmhouses, antiques, landscapes and still-lifes of freshly harvested fruits and flowers.
