David Lochtie
David Lochtie has been painting, writing, and teaching creativity for three decades, all the while tinkering with unorthodox combinations. His choice of media encompasses pen & ink, watercolor, oil, acrylic and more.
David has led creativity workshops at Portland State University, Willamette, Lewis and Clark, University of Portland, Caldera, Art Institute of Portland and many other schools.
He favors hybrid forms as they often lead to breakthroughs. Over time he has found that by leapfrogging artistic disciplines – writing to dancing to drawing to sound – you can get to creative places you never would have through one discipline only. When asked about his teaching he says, "When I do these workshops, I think of myself as Keeper of the Cauldron– the soup gets richer and richer with each person’s contribution."

For David, creative inquiry is like going to the ocean. We wade in or reach down into a tide pool, or cast a line into the invisible depth. We reach out and reel in. Something always comes to us, even if it’s the seaweed of a “mundane” object or a “dull” event. We do not have to manufacture the stuff of inspiration; it can occur effortlessly. We just look at what lands in our hands and begin to dream about what it might mean.
