David Mueller, originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, currently resides in Northern Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio.  He is a 1987 graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago.

Since 1989, David has been creating renderings for many private and corporate collectors, including gubernatorial portraits that hang in the Ohio State capital.  More recently has created large bodies of work for one man shows in New York and the Midwest.  Recently, David rendered a Christmas ornament that was displayed on the main indoor White House Christmas tree.

In March of 1993, David's work appeared on the cover of The Artist's Magazine and in the feature article therein on his painting technique.  Other articles on his work have appeared in Artist's and one coming in the Fall/Winter issue of 2010 will also include his work.  His work has been the subject of many regional publications, including print, television, and radio.

David is active in the Cincinnati Art Club, founded in 1890.  Such notables as Frank Duveneck, Henry Farney and Edward Potthast founded the club.  David has demonstrated his technique as a guest speaker there and many other regional organizations.  He has taught oil painting and drawing privately and in regional workshops.

Plein air painting, another passion for David, and research have taken him on travels through Quebec, Canada, Florence, Amalfi and Venice, Italy; London, England; Monhegan Island, ME; Gloucester, Massachusetss; Northern Michigan and Kentucky.
