Bio

DAVID FREMERMAN (b. 1959, Kansas City, Missouri) is a painter, poet, and improv actor living and working in Dallas, Texas. He holds an MFA in painting from Indiana University Bloomington (1990) and an MA in painting from Fontbonne University in St. Louis (1988). He frequently writes about painting through poetry and is on the verge of publishing his first book of poems entitled Small Moments: Poems about Painting and Other Abstractions (2026).

After growing up in the Kansas City and St. Louis metropolitan areas, he attended Washington University in St. Louis where he obtained a BS in chemical engineering (1982) and later worked for several decades as an environmental engineer to help make ends meet. Whether writing or painting, his thoughts can range from the quotidian to the cosmological, and despite this scientific backdrop, his work remains a running argument against over-calculation.
