David J. West’s father was a photographer and David gives his father credit for instilling in him his passion for photography. After studying photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, David traveled the world. His passion is landscape photography. The David J. West Gallery opened in 2007 in Springdale. Through David's love and dedication to his art, his images have become fine pieces of art that are collected all over the world; with each image uniquely conveying an emotion of their own.
