David Martin

Ibex Valley, YT, Canada

David is a Glass Artist from Calgary Alberta, currently living and creating in Whitehorse Yukon, in the ancestral territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council. He began working with glass in 2010 at the Alberta College of Art and Design, where he earned a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art majoring in Glass. Taking on residencies in Scotland and Japan has informed many of his choices with glass as a medium. As a resident of the Yukon, David is inspired by the surrounding landscape and spends most of his time adventuring in and around the mountains. Most recently he has continued work on his art practice with the finalization of his first large scale public art installation, Chimney Smoke.
