David Skora grew up in southwestern Michigan by the shore of Lake Michigan. After graduating from Western Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design, he moved to Chicago and worked as a graphic designer and a fine artist. In the mid-1980s he accepted a position as a graphic designer on the East Coast and moved to Connecticut. He then worked as a graphic designer and a fine artist for a couple of years in Connecticut before moving to New York City. In the late 1980s, Skora attended graduate school at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and received a Masters of Fine Arts degree in 1989. In early 2000 he began creating welded sculptures. By 2010 I fully concentrated on making welded steel sculptures.

Skora lives with my family in the Northwest Hills of Connecticut where he paints, sculpts, and designs. When not working in the studio, he is a full-time Professor of Graphic Design at Western Connecticut State University.

Skora’s artwork has been shown extensively and can be found in many public and private collections throughout the United States.
