David Mensing has been a professional artist for more than twenty years. His paintings are featured in collections and exhibitions around the nation and across the globe. Dave grew up in Iowa and moved to The West as a young man. He lives in Sisters, Oregon with his wife and their three children.

Before pursuing art full-time, David worked as an architect and a camp director. He has been certified as a white-water rafting guide and at one time was a talented pole vaulter. Mensing's architectural background contributes to his compelling designs. Each painting is a statement - every aspect of the presentation is important. David is careful to select a title for each painting that reflects the character and spiritual basis for the work.

Dave defines 'art' as 'the pursuit of delight in submission to truth.' Thus, he finds inspiration in a limitless range of subjects. He is compelled to share the experience of natural places, for in Creation, one can glimpse the eternal capability and eminent character of God.

David Mensing earnestly confesses Jesus Christ as Lord.

Numerous books and periodicals have featured David Mensing's work with cover images and feature articles, including American Art Collector, Southwest Art and Big Sky Journal. Recent national awards include Southwest Art's 'Award of Excellence' in Icons of the West and Art and Soul: 'Professional Juror / Best of Show.'
