Natural Progressions

David S. Rose grew up in the Pacific Northwest. Many rainy days kept him indoors where he took crayons to the wall and paint to the floor. He realized that colors, shapes and textures ruled his world. His junior year of high school found him packing his bags and heading off to Japan as an exchange student. He was strongly influenced by the Japanese sense of style. During his college years he studied art and design at Portland State University, Oregon State University, Art Institute of Oregon, School of Visual Arts in New York City and an art paired with music summer program in London. The late 80s once again found him packing his bags and venturing south to San Francisco. He acquired the nickname "DaVidRo" while a designer at Stanford University. In his free time he creates kilnformed and flameworked glass art.
