Dave Caudill is an American sculptor who creates artworks for public, corporate and private collections. His larger public works may be found at Louisiana's Rip Van Winkle Gardens, East Tennessee's Horizon Center park, the University of Kentucky's Singletary Center for the Arts, University of Louisville School of Music, and the Louisville Zoo. Corporate collections include Brown-Forman Corporation and Fire King International. Individual collectors across America have acquired his work.
He is also one of the few sculptors in the world who have created an environmental undersea sculpture. Caudill's artwork was placed on the seabed near Nassau, The Bahamas.
Recent commissions include development of the Spirit of Peace Award, presented to former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and renowned singer Judy Collins, in recognition of their efforts to support mental health.
His medium is welded stainless steel, used to create a wide variety of structures and images.
Caudill attended the University of Kentucky and the Louisville School of Art. Current professional affiliations include the International Sculpture Center, the Kentucky Guild of Artists & Craftsmen and the Kentucky Museum of Arts + Design, of which he is a board member.
In 2000, he initiated a project for rural libraries called "Sparking Creativity," an ongoing series of workshops, exhibits and presentations. To promote innovative capacity in everyone, these events present a greater understanding of creativity, how to enhance it and how to recognize obstacles. They were supported in part by the Kentucky Arts Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Born in Corbin, Kentucky in 1950, he maintains his home and studio in Louisville.
