David has a BFA in Painting and Drawing and an MA in American Literature, both from the University of Calgary. He was born and raised in Alberta and has been living in Regina for the past five years.

David's practice includes painting, drawing and critical writing about the visual arts. Solo exhibitions include: "Sex, Violence and the Death of Heroes", "Peripheral Pictures" and "Cowboys and Indians (and Métis?)". His work often engages issues of nature, perception, masculinities, and the negotiation of White, Aboriginal and Métis identities.

Garneau recently curated two large group exhibitions in Calgary, "The End of the World (as we know it)" and "Picture Windows: New Abstraction," and two in Regina, "Transcendent Squares" (Rosemont Art Gallery) and "Making it Like a Man", a national exhibition and conference for the Mackenzie Art Gallery.

He is currently exploring road kill as a still life subject and is curating two exhibitions for 2005 at the Rosemont Art Gallery: "Sophisticated Folk" and "Contested Histories", produced by the Sâkêwêwak Artists' Collective.
