Originally from the Midwest, Coolidge graduated from Drake University, then lived in the Philadelphia area for twenty years. He later attended The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Temple University’s Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy.

His continuing fascination for the colourful, bright images and lush foliage that watercolour creates inspires him. David has earned a reputation with collectors for paintings that recall an uncluttered “simplicity of former times.” Extensive travel is evident in Coolidge’s paintings. “When viewers associate a scene from a painting with a fond memory of a place that they have known, or with thoughts of a place they would like to go, I feel I’ve been successful,” he says.

David has been selected to exhibit at the National Academy of Design in New York; Artists of America in Denver; and national Arts for the Parks in Jackson, Wyoming, where he won recognition for his painting “Lookout from Little Round Top” and received the Centennial Purchase Award from the Gettysburg National Military Park. less
