About David

David Joseph is an artist, physician, engineer and inventor who lives on Martha’s Vineyard MA, Naples FL, and Hudson NY. As an artist, David’s media are found object art and photography. 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, and exhibits his found object art at the Old Sculpin Gallery in Edgartown, MA on an ongoing basis, as well as at several other galleries on Martha’s Vineyard, as well as at the Carnegie Center and Martha’s Vineyard Museum. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association and The Old Sculpin Gallery. He has also been juried in as an active member of the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, has been invited to show at the Tufts/Boston Museum of Fine Arts School multiple times, at the Hamptons International Film Festival Art Show, The Garrison Art Center, and is currently serving as a guest artist at Art Gallery 71 in Rhinebeck NY. He was also recently a featured artist at the Laffer Gallery in Saratoga Springs. His work is in numerous collections across the US as well as in Canada, Europe and Asia.
