57 Pieces of Toast, 1981
Etching, 13" x 9"
David Bigelow was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1949, and received his B.F.A. in printmaking and drawing from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1971. After teaching at several prestigious colleges and universities in the United States, Bigelow resigned from the realm of academia in 1980 to become a full-time printmaker and started Bigelow Studios. His etchings and drawings have been exhibited across the country, and as an artist, Bigelow strives to search for the profound in the mundane and the ambiguous in the apparent. The artist and his wife, Marcia – who often helps him fill in his etchings with watercolor – currently reside in Springfield, Missouri. He teaches art at Evangel University as he continues to exhibit and juries art fairs.
