About

“This is the art that I saw as a boy living in the high meadows in Idaho. I want to share this beauty with whoever might look upon my paintings.”

David Partridge — Walla Walla, WA

Partridge grew up in Idaho, where kerosene lanterns at dusk and elk moving through lodgepole timber became the grammar of his vision. He paints, carves, and builds from a studio in Walla Walla, Washington, surrounded by the same high desert country that trained his eye as a boy.
