BIOGRAPHICAL

    David Peikon (born 1958) dreamed of a
life as a painter since his early teens but
was urged to seek a more secure career
path. After college he spent 15 years in
the commercial printing industry,
culminating his career as a vice-president
of sales. In 1996, at the age of 38, he left
the business world to pursue his passion.

    His landscapes have been described as
scenes of serene isolation, always with a
reverence for the beauty of nature, whether
the subject is the native shores of Long
Island or the hills of Tuscany.

     Now in his second decade as a painter,
his work hangs in private and corporate
collections around the world. In addition
to 10 solo shows thus far, he has been
featured in numerous publications
including American Artist Magazine
and The NY Times

     Also known for his striking portraits,
the artist is honored to include among his
clients such notables as author William F.
Buckley Jr., Salvatore Ferragamo, Dr.
James D. Watson, Nobel Laureate, and
Dr. David Steinberg, President of Long
Island University.

     The artist continues to make Long
Island his home along with his wife and
two children.
