David Berger

For me, I paint not only because it is my calling, but because it is my passion. I aspire to create images in oil that are capable of transporting the viewer above the daily efforts and struggles, if only for moments in time. If successful, I will have not only achieved this end... I will have fulfilled my spiritual destiny!

I am a self taught painter.

I have been a painting instructor for the past 8 years here at my art gallery, Mountain Mist Gallery. At this time I teach over 35 students weekly.

I have owned and operated my own gallery for 8 years. Previously I exhibited my work all over the United States at the most prestigious outdoor art festivals for over 25 years such as,
Coconut Grove Art Festival, Disney Festival of the Masters, Winter Park Art Festival,
Kansas City Art Festival, St. Louis Art Fair, Oklahoma Festival of Art, Ann Arbor Art Fair, Gasparilla Art Festival, Boca Museum, Reston Festival of Art, and many others.

I studied the works of the master painters Rembrant, Vermeer, Bierstadt, and many others. My contemporary influences were David Leffel and Gregg Kreutz.
