After a 25-year career in the high tech and fast paced world of Silicon Valley, Starbuck traded in his coat and tie, and briefcase, for an easel, some brushes, paints, and a pair of flip flops to chase a completely different lifestyle. A complete reinvention from who he was to whom he has now become. Starbuck is now is a full time, award-winning and published wildlife artist. As an outdoor and wildlife enthusiast, capturing the personality of his wildlife subjects is always front and center for him. Whether it is a morning sunrise or the evening golden hour, interesting day light drives David's interest and attention during those times where wildlife tends to be most active. David and his wife, Michelle, live in the small beach community of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
