David once shared “When I paint, I do it as much for the other people as for myself. I hope that my paintings can be a sense of strength for our people. I try to reach into the distant past when we were strong people and I try to find ways to express that strength for people today. I don’t start a painting until i’ve felt what it will mean. If we can locate strength from the past we can overcome the problems of the present. I hope my paintings can suggest a path to the future.”
