David J. Stine works as an artist, designer, and photographer, out of Culver City, California. He’s drawn to the way a community and its surroundings speak to each other, and he especially gravitates toward Venice’s pulse. With than twenty years of experience in design and branding behind him, Stine’s practice weaves together crisp visual clarity and a resonant emotional tone.

Stine’s creative practice spans photography, printmaking, and product design. His photographic wanderings through the Venice canals and along the coast celebrate both the area’s natural splendor and its rich cultural history. Exhibited in eateries, community hubs, and cultural festivals, his work embodies his conviction that art thrives in life as much as in galleries.

Equally devoted to community engagement, Stine works hand‑in‑hand with businesses, arts groups, and education‑focused initiatives, such as the Venice Art Crawl and the Venice Chamber of Commerce. His approach is anchored in the belief that art can spark connection, lift voices and nurture a sense of belonging.

Fusing a aesthetic, with multi‑layered narratives Stine fashions works that are, at once visually arresting and imbued with social significance. Each creation channels his conviction that art transcends image or object—it serves as a nexus tying together people, place and purpose.
