David Kinker
Biography: Grateful for the opportunity to live out the passions of his life, Bend, Oregon artist David Kinker feels equally at home guiding a raft full of adventurers through the most scenic rivers of the Northwest and beyond, as he does guiding the minds of aspiring artists, helping them discover their inner muse. David is well known for his murals in many regional landmarks such as the Tower Theater, Silver Moon Brewery, St Charles Medical Center, and many other locations. His colorful abstracts have won awards, and his river and canyon landscapes are glimpses into the beauty here in the Northwest. David's landscape paintings can be found at Tumalo Art Company in Bend's Old Mill. Many pieces of his artwork have been donated to help non-profits for social and environmental concerns throughout the community. See David's art on his website: https://www.kinker.com/
