David Lechner is a people person. His social spirit and joyful outgoing demeanor lead David to make connections and friends wherever he goes, and he has a talent for cataloguing names and defining features that make people unique. His paintings and drawings celebrate and memorialize these friendships and social connections, often causing the subjects to make a joyful noise at the rendering of their likeness and/or name. David’s portfolio represents a unique social network that predates social media but serves as a similar tool to track the connections and friendships that surround David and his two creative hands.
