David McBay was born and raised in Texas and was always fascinated with Mexican culture. During the summers he traveled extensively throughout the southwest and Mexico. Before retiring he painted on the weekends recreating on canvas the numerous images that he photographed during his journeys. His unique style is reminiscent of the American Folk Art Traditions while his subject matter depicts the cultural heritage of Mexico. His works exhibit a mysterious and somewhat melancholy mood focused toward the architecture and a timeless sense of place. His images create a nostalgia for what once was and what now is. David is happy to be the newest member of the Galeria San Francisco in San Miguel de Allende, MX.
