DAVID Melrose
David Melrose was born in 1977 and raised in Greenport, NY. He trained as a sculptor in the classical renaissance style while he served as an apprentice and assistant for several renown artists including Robert Berkes and Dennis Oppenhiem. In these distinct positions, he learned a wide range of artisanal disciplines and artistic practices in all varieties and forms.
