About David

David Joseph is an artist, physician, engineer and inventor who lives on Martha’s Vineyard MA, Naples FL, and Hudson Valley NY. David’s specializes in found object sculpture and assemblage. His artistic endeavors began as a child growing up in Chicago, working in geometric acrylics, with several gallery exhibitions during middle school. Equally right and left brained, he went on to enroll at MIT, studying Mechanical Engineering and was voted by the faculty as the top engineer in his class. He began Harvard Medical School while still an undergraduate and trained at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Brigham & Women's Hospital. He is triple board-certified in Anesthesiology, ICU medicine, and Pain Management. 

David began his career as an inventor at an early age, and went on to be awarded numerous patents during high school and college.  He continues his work as an inventor, primarily in medical device innovations, blending his creative and scientific talents.

An avid international traveler, he has visited 133 countries on all seven continents, all 50 states, and over 285 UNESCO world heritage sites, each destination an opportunity to photograph nature, wildlife, and portraits.  Unable to travel during Covid, David saw the potential to create art from the mundanity around him. He began to create found object sculptures made of old or used common household items, toys, and sports equipment. Each whimsical, thought-provoking piece displays the balanced composition of a trained artist and the skilled construction of an engineer.

David’s work has been exhibited at numerous galleries, and his donated pieces have raised tens of thousands of dollars for charitable causes, predominantly in the arts, education, animal welfare, and community services. Through a juried process, he was accepted as a member of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association/The Old Sculpin Gallery, as well as the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in Woodstock NY, Gallery 71 in Rhinebeck NY, and the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan. He also exhibits at the Featherstone Art Center on Marthas Vineyard, the Carnegie Center on Martha’s Vineyard and the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, as well as the Tufts School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Hamptons International Film Festival Art Show, the Laffer Gallery in Saratoga Springs NY, The Garrison Art Center in Garrison NY, The Athens Cultural Center in Athens NY, and the Milliner Art Salon in Hudson NY.
