David Edward Kucera

David Edward Kucera
born in San Jose, California.

The first time he did display his artistic nature was at the age of five. He had been sent to his room as a punishment for a variety of mischievous deeds. As he sat wondering what he could do to pass the time, he noticed a box of colored crayons and four empty walls. One can guess what happened next!

Oh my !!!!!I love that story.

His family then moved to Nebraska, where he did spend most of his time drawing and painting.

A teacher in high school encouraged Edward to get a career in artmaking, but he wanted to focus in music. In 1984, Ed graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, California.

His creative energy eventually led him back to drawing and painting.
He enrolled at the Colorado Institute of Art, and in June 1991, he graduated with honors, including Best Portfolio.

I am honoured and thankful to Mr David Edward Kucera for giving me the permition to share his paintings with you. Hope you will enjoy.

The art work of Kirby Sattler show a huge interest in the Native first Peoples.
