David Drinon

Passion: Painting outdoors in all the different times of the year and seasons around New England.

Dave paints in the tradition of the Boston School of Landscape painters.

Nonetheless, he continued to sketch and paint. In 2008 Dave made the decision to transition from a successful career as a financial advisor to a career as a full-time painter.
Dave studied studio painting at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester NH.
