Award-Winning USA Artist David DeVary


American fine artist David DeVary grew-up in the 1950's in the Midwest - Bloomington, Illinois. Since it was a small town and BTV (Before TV) he went to the movies a lot. His Mom took him to see all the glamorous musicals, and every Saturday morning he and the guys plopped down their 24 pennies to see all the serials.


Hollywood’s 1950’s western was so romantic and ideal. The good guys always won and they always got the girl. It was a time when a Hero was a Hero and a man's word really meant something. He loved all the Cowboy Westerns and fantasized about all the beautiful ladies from the musical comedies. The mysterious and evocative movie posters from that era were one of the first deep formative influences on what would later become David’s own unique style


David attended the Art Institute of Chicago and Wesleyan University. After graduation, he began his career in Chicago advertising, becoming Creative Director/Senior V.P. at J. Walter Thompson in Chicago. David’s clients included McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Hallmark Cards and Kraft Foods. For his creative work, he’s earned Clio awards and the prestigious Gold Lion at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival.
