David Arms is a self-taught artist who resides with his family in Nashville, Tennessee. His love for nature comes through vividly in the still life paintings he creates in a contemporary style. His overriding mission is to use this medium to convey a sense of hope, a driving force in his life and work. After showing his art in numerous galleries for many years, in 2011 he opened his own gallery in the historic village of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee. It was then that he was able to make his art more accessible through products he designs, spreading this message in a very tangible way.
