David H. Merrifield was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1968. He received a B.S in Engineering Arts from Michigan State University. He owns a studio in Asheville, North Carolina. Merrifield is inspired by the industrial and natural worlds, and looks to create works that consider each surface as a part of the whole. He also pays great attention to the materials he chooses to use when creating his work, as he believes these materials not only contribute to the structural stability of the piece, but also to the aesthetic quality. Merrifield has works in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and has participated in multiple group exhibitions throughout the United States.
