“Where Nature Meets Fine Art”

by David Winegar

Artists Statement - The Creative Act

I create photographic art from the heart—capturing moments when light, place, and subject come together so beautifully that I want to memorialize the scene as Fine Art. My work centers on the peak of action, a decisive moment, or the quiet shift of changing seasons and chapters in time. I choose titles that offer context or a glimpse into what I saw, and what I felt in that moment.

My mind is constantly alive with the pre-visualization of finished pieces—the place, the light, the composition, and the subject. I venture afield in search of that imagined moment, when all the players on the stage of my mind come together and imagination becomes reality. And once in a while, a satisfying work of art is born.

Other times, I simply go into nature with an open mind, letting the land and light guide my vision. Serendipity has a way of appearing when I stop trying to control the outcome. Those rare moments when nature reveals herself remind me that patience, mindfulness, and awareness often matter more than planning.

When you invest in my work, you’re investing in more than a physical piece of art. You’re investing in a story, an emotion, and often a rare and fleeting moment in time. Each piece reflects my personal touch, from the first spark of inspiration to the final creation, and my hand-signed signature with a personal limited-edition number.

If one of my images speaks to you, it’s not by chance—it’s because it connects with something you’ve felt, loved, or lived. Perhaps it’s a familiar landscape or a glimpse of wildlife that brings a smile and a sense of calm—art that you can experience every day, not just for a fleeting moment. Scenes that bring a special feeling into your home or business—a daily reminder of the gift of wilderness and wild things we have been given. The beauty, peace, and wonder that still thrives in the natural world.

A Collaboration of Vision and Art—Created for Living Spaces

I offer a personalized experience—not an online ordering menu from a distant factory. Together, we explore how each piece should be presented, selecting the ideal medium, texture, size, and framing to complement your space. You can see and handle physical samples to appreciate the depth and craftsmanship firsthand. When needed, I assess lighting and viewing angles to ensure each piece looks its best—offering simple solutions for glare or uneven illumination. I specialize in creating large-scale fine art installations for some of Park City’s most distinctive homes.

For larger installations, I collaborate with professional designers, art installers, and lighting specialists to deliver a seamless, gallery-quality presentation.

Craftsmanship & Integrity

Every artwork is overseen and personally inspected by me throughout its creation—ensuring it arrives ready to hang on your wall with the same presentation quality you’d expect in a fine gallery or museum. Each limited edition is signed, numbered, and never automated.

When size allows, I print each piece myself on Canon’s latest Lucia Pro 12-color professional printer, which equals or exceeds the quality of top professional labs. Prints are made on museum-grade fine art papers—available in Glossy, Satin, Matte, Pearl, and other beautiful media such as Moab Entrada Rag, Hahnemühle Photo Rag, Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag, and Ilford Gold Fibre Silk.

Limited editions of 10, 50, 100, or 500 ensure integrity, rarity, and lasting value, keeping every piece personal and collectible.

Each work is me working for you—crafted with me being a team member of select professional labs, or creating the print myself when size allows.

Artistic Finishes

💎 Silver Halide Prints (Chromogenic Prints)
A timeless process developed by hand in classic wet baths — a lost art in today’s digital age. Each image is created on Fuji Flex photographic paper, fused beneath museum-grade acrylic, and mounted on a hand-crafted hardwood hanging frame. The result: unmatched depth, luminosity, and an immersive presence that stands apart from modern inkjet printing.

🪙 Metal Prints
Vivid color, exceptional clarity, and a resilient surface that brings each image to life. These prints are infused directly into specially coated aluminum panels, creating a waterproof, scratch-resistant finish with incredible depth and modern brilliance.

🖼️ Exhibition-Quality Canvas Wraps
An organic, painterly presentation that adds warmth and texture to any space. Each image is printed with archival pigment inks on heavyweight cotton canvas, then hand-stretched over a solid wood frame for a timeless gallery appearance.

🖨️ Loose Prints
I handcraft smaller prints using Canon’s 12-color Lucia Pro pigment ink system and archival materials rated for 200-year longevity. Larger prints are produced through the finest professional labs, ensuring exceptional tonal depth and print permanence.

Truth in Photography

• My work shows real places, real light, and real moments—just as I saw them.
  I use only traditional adjustments such as dodging, burning, color correction, and cropping.

• I do not use AI to create or alter scenes that never occurred.
  If a composite is made (from my own photographs), it is clearly labeled. In my entire portfolio, I only have one composite.
  Honesty matters—if you’re buying art, you deserve to know how it was made.

Wildlife Examples

A red fox explodes off the river bank of McLeod Creek, (Park City, Utah) swollen with spring runoff, and returning home with dinner for her pups. After many days of quiet observation, careful not to disturb her rhythm, I captured this Red Fox in a fleeting moment at the peak of action.
