Biography
David Dibble (b. 1977) was raised on a farm in Davis County, Utah, where he was influenced by the landscape from an early age. Formal Art education was followed by six years as a color artist for Blue Sky Studios (20th Century Fox), and six years teaching Illustration at Brigham Young University.
David and his family now reside in Orem, Utah, where he paints full time, seeking a divine connection with the land. His work brings awareness to the beauty and nobility of agriculture. He also continues to offer his expertise to animation studios worldwide.
