David Bender

After growing up in Montesano, Washington and attending The Burnley School of Art in Seattle, David bought a one-way ticket to New York, and with $200 in his pocket, set out for Madison Avenue. He spent ten years working for top agencies, then co-founded Janklow & Bender, an award-winning ad agency creating campaigns for Tumi, The Walt Disney Company and Johnson & Johnson.

In 1991, David sold the agency in order to pursue his true passion: a career in the arts. Since then, he has maintained his Brooklyn studio, showing work at Scope Miami, The White Room Gallery, Woodward Gallery, Arcadia Contemporary and Arden Gallery. This fall his work is being shown at The Brinton Museum in Wyoming to showcase a residency he spent there last year.
