ABOUT THE ARTWORK

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Eastern Washington sculptor David Govedare (1950-2021) uses human and animal figures to create symbolic and visual narratives, mainly in metal. In his own words, "I build stuff from the experiences of life." Govedare is a non-Native artist.

Govedare grew up in California and first came to the Spokane area as a student, for an architecture internship during Expo ’74. He lived and worked in Chewelah, Northeastern Washington.
