David Costello Biography
Artist David Costello has recently moved his home and studio to Freeport Maine. He has lived and traveled abroad extensively. During the early 1970s David lived in France and Italy, where he exhibited his work in various European countries, winning a number of international and regional awards.
Upon returning to the United States, Mr. Costello continued to show his work in many areas of the country. In 1980, he accepted a position as illustrator at the Lowell Sun, a daily newspaper in New England, where he rose to the position of Graphics Editor before establishing his own successful graphic design business, located in Lexington, Massachusetts. In addition to working with the local community, DC Graphics also sold original T-shirt designs to various national catalogs, Macy's of New York, and many boutiques in the Northeast.
In 1994, prompted by the Lord, David closed the doors on his business and dedicated his time to searching God's word and His will. In the fall of 1995, the Lord invaded David's artwork bringing about a considerable transformation. As a result, dreams and visions have manifested in his life, inspiring every drawing. Mr. Costello regards his work as worship: "God has His plan, my only desire is to be part of it. Seeking His presence is key; in that place where deep meets deep, creativity - everything flows out of relationship with Father, Creator of all things."
David travels internationally, speaking on the creative process, the supernatural and intimacy with God. For bookings contact him at: costy48@gmail.com
