Artist Bio

Known for his oil pastel landscapes, Austin, Texas David Sanders trained at Southwest Texas State University to become a commercial artist but earned so many portrait commissions that he immediately began working as a fine artist.

He is one of the twelve founders of the Texas Association of Professional Artists, and in 1975, had a one-man exhibition of his paintings at the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas. David was one of Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe's favorite artists, and many of fine paintings found their way into the Briscoe collection, one of the very best western art collections in America. David’s compelling art can also be found in many other important private and public collections.

Over his career, David has created some very special art depicting such iconic subjects as the King Ranch, the founding of Austin, Texas, Col. Charles Goodnight and the JA Ranch, numerous Native Americans and some of the very best Texas Hill Country landscapes ever produced.
