David Bornancin Art Coach
David Bornancin is a local Cleveland artist known for expressive landscapes and abstract paintings that evolve alongside the viewer. Self-taught and endlessly curious, David began creating art more than 18 years ago, first through drawing and illustration, then gradually finding his voice on canvas.
In the last five years, he has participated in over 60 shows with over 160 paintings sold and in beautiful homes and collections across the Ohio region.
Beyond painting, David is passionate about helping other artists succeed. With over 30 years of experience in sales and relationship-building, he coaches local creatives on how to navigate the business side of art—bridging the gap between making meaningful work and confidently selling it.
