CREATE: Artists
David Ceminski
Painting & Drawing - May 2026
David Ceminski grew up on a farm in Gray Eagle, Minnesota, surrounded by animals that included horses, cattle, goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. Besides watching his mother plow the fields with their horses, some of his favorite childhood memories involve sitting on the porch with his uncle’s pet duck, “Peepy,” and exploring the woods with his siblings while picking wild asparagus.
David enjoys getting out and seeing new places, especially when helping at The Depot on scrapyard runs, where he’s fascinated by the large machinery. In the studio, he likes working with colored pencils, markers, and acrylic paints, using these mediums to explore color and detail inspired by his experiences and interests.
