David Little, a resident of Portland, Maine, has been painting the Maine landscape since 1983. He attended the Skowhegan School in 1981 and 1982, and was a recipient of the Carina House fellowship on Monhegan in 1998. Little is represented by Courthouse Gallery Fine Art in Ellsworth and by Thomas Moser Cabinetmakers in Freeport. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Blaine House, Bates College Museum of Art, and the Farnsworth Museum. Little's experience in the art world is broad—he spent 10 years working at the Bayview Gallery in Portland, and he regularly teaches art, gives critiques, juries art shows, and curates.

David has said of being an artist in Maine, “I am passionate about painting out-of-doors and exploring the remote areas of Maine. I'm inspired by nature, music, and Impressionism to create something new and authentic. My goal is to let go, to paint like the wind, and to interact with the Maine landscape on a deeper, less literal fashion. And if necessary, to fail with excitement.”
