David JP Hooker is a transplanted South Carolinian who is still trying to get used to Chicago winters. He received an MFA in Ceramics from Kent State University, and currently teaches at Wheaton College. David’s artwork combines images from his daily life, art history, pop culture, and other assorted bits and pieces that inspire him in peculiar ways. David’s interests lie in how our culture shapes us and how we, in turn, can shape our culture.
When David is not freaking out over deadlines, he enjoys spending time with his wife, E, his children A and S, his dog, Mac, and his cat, Summer. He also enjoys baseball, basketball, BBQ, bodysurfing and tennis—not necessarily in that order.
