BIOGRAPHY
David Lee Black, an award-winning photographer, references
the depth of the natural world and its inhabitants with his unique
vision.
Conveying not only light and shadow, David
imparts a sense of storytelling folklore and a timeless mythology.
Evoking emotion and the sense of being connected to abandoned places
almost sacred, David's images articulate emotional truths far beyond the
scope of literal meaning.
David also lends his personal philosophy and artistic
skill to his work in Expressive Arts Therapy. He encourages his clients
to explore and discover the visual and aural world. Clients journey
with David throughout the natural world and reflect and integrate the
emotional meaning of their art through public exhibits
and recordings.
In 2013, David received the Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant to further his expressive arts project.
An accomplished musician and composer in the New
England music and theater scene, David holds music credits that include
serving as Music Director for the Department of Interior's
Orchestrations Exhibits in Boston and Washington D.C., and both
performing and recording with The McCoy Brothers, Jumpin Juba (Bone'less
Records), Natural Toy (Studio A Productions), Tractor (Lakewest
Records), The Brian Scott Quartet (Dynamic Studios),The Patmos Brothers
Revival, The Extraordinary Rendition Band and conducting an award-winning jazz
and symphonic band.
David has also produced and performed an original project,
"
Black Shack" (Vincent Productions), and has appeared in a number of
performance art and theatrical stage productions (A Chorus Line, Damn
Yankees, and Music Man).
