“Pure and
Spotless”
David Stickel
Watercolor
David L. Stickel
In 1982, David dribbled his way to a Bachelor's degree in Art at UNC-Asheville
on a basketball scholarship. People often comment how unusual it is for
an athlete standing 6'9" to be so artistic. He then launched his
art career at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, TN. David’s use
of light, color and reflections in his paintings encourage one to reflect
on the wonders of the everyday world around us. His work has a timeless
appeal and value and has received numerous honors and awards. David’s
paintings are owned by collectors in the Southeast, Midwest and abroad.
This quality has also been recognized by such organizations as the American
Watercolor Society, and his work has toured with the annual traveling
exhibition. David draws inspiration for his work from his extensive travels,
including two years in Africa, a summer in China, two trips to Europe
and several years in the southwest United States. He is excited to be
back in his beloved North Carolina, surrounded by so much that inspires
him from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the beautiful coastal shores. However,
his deepest motivation and joy is the confidence that his ability to
create works of art is an amazing gift from God. David, his wife Julie,
and their children, make their home in Chapel Hill.
