Buying Art with Purpose: Why Your Walls Need a Story
How artist David Faulkner uses storytelling to guide his artistic process —creating open-ended works that invite viewers to project their own stories and meanings into his work.
Welcome to My Virtual Gallery
My work is rooted in contemporary mixed-media and digital collage, combining photography, painting, and texture to produce pieces that shape atmosphere as much as they offer visual interest. Created for homes, hotels, and shared environments, to add narrative and visual detail that reward repeated viewing.
The collections below represent an evolving practice centered on themes that resonate with viewers and contribute to the character of the environments they inhabit.
A collection focused on layered imagery and surface variation, Exploring Texture introduces depth and atmosphere through subtle collage and accumulated marks that reveal themselves over time.
A collection centered on gesture and mark-making, Brush Strokes explores movement, rhythm, and the expressive potential of painterly technique intertwined with digital and mixed-media processes.
Exploring portraiture and the human presence, Painted Faces brings together layered imagery and expressive marks to suggest identity, emotion, and interior life rather than fixed likeness.
Inspired by animals and their environments, Wild Life explores the emotional and symbolic presence of nonhuman figures through layered imagery that balances representation with atmosphere.

Most rooms begin with practical decisions — the sofa that fits, the table that works, the lighting that doesn’t compete with everyday life. But when people talk about a room they love, they rarely mention the furniture first. They talk about what the room feels like.
