David Gildersleeve (1968-2019): In Memoriam
Starry Night Gallery is honored to present a special exhibition celebrating the life and whimsical art of David Gildersleeve!
Come experience his playful “wonky” mixed-media paintings — including his beloved Tophat series, Crazy Lady series, and Rock ’n’ Roll collection. A former comic book artist, Microsoft designer, children’s book author, and SCAD instructor, David’s vibrant, fun, and imaginative works continue to delight collectors worldwide.
Several of his original paintings are currently featured in Art Fusion’s prestigious World Vision Art Tour 2025-2026, traveling to Florence, London, Paris, Mexico, and Tokyo!
This is your chance to view and purchase his originals right here in Daytona Beach while honoring his creative legacy.
