David Unzicker received his BFA in Art from Augustana in 1971. During his time at Augie, David studied under Carl Grupp and Palmer Eide. He later attended the University of South Dakota where he had the privilege to study under Bob Aldern and John Day.
David became a structural engineer, but continued using the skills he learned in school to tap into his creative nature. He has gradually transitioned his subject matter from still life and landscapes to more abstract themes which predominate the body of work.
