David Seibert received his early fine art training in painting and sculpture at an Artist Guild in New England, and later at Rhode Island School of Design. He worked as an illustrator and designer in New England, gradually devoting more time to painting. His influences include Anders Zorn, Joaquin Sorolla, John Singer Sargent and the early California artists William Ritschel and Edgar Payne. He has learned from accomplished artist Richard Schmid and other contemporary master artists. 

He was a painting and drawing instructor at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Westport Art Group. He was a founding member and chairman of the Sandywoods Cooperative Gallery in Rhode Island. Along with creating work for galleries, he has completed numerous commissioned works for corporations and private collectors.

He has painted numerous studies along the East Coast from Maine to Newport and Nantucket to The Outer Banks. He has traveled on painting explorations to Iceland, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Kiev.

In 2013, inspired by the same area that beckoned early California artists William Ritschel, Gottardo Piazzoni and many others, he moved West after painting and exploring during an artist residency at a National Park. From 2015 - 2018 he exhibited his work in a gallery he co-founded with another artist in Carmel, CA.

He is currently working along the Central California Coast and mountains continuing the practice of painting on location and creating larger works in the studio.
