David Parvin was born in the Midwest, raised in the Northwest, and has lived in Colorado for over 30 years. Parvin’s primary subject is the human form executed in a classically realist manner. Though principally known for his bronzes, he has also worked in wood, concrete, polyurethane, polyester, Forton MG, pewter, acrylic, glass and raku. Parvin has become internationally recognized also as a life casting expert and has contributed many new techniques and materials to his art form. He was one of the artists to be honored with a lifetime membership in the Association of Lifecasters International and is one of only six to be certified as life casting instructors by the same institution.
