David Stesner is a classically trained artist whose work lives at the intersection of fine art, photography, fashion, and design. Known for his emotionally resonant imagery, bold visual language, and signature butterfly motifs, he has built a distinctive career that now extends beyond the canvas through David Stesner ArtHouse - a luxury home and lifestyle brand rooted in the idea that art should not only hang on the wall, but live beautifully in everyday life.
A Classically Trained Artist with a Global Presence
At the center of David Stesner's artistic practice is The Butterfly Project, a body of work that reflects both the symbolism of the butterfly and the full breadth of his creative range. Combining painting, embossing, photography, and digital creation, the series feels layered, expressive, and unmistakably his own.
Inspired by profound moments of duality - the loss of his sister Barbara and the birth of his daughter Blake - the work reaches beyond beauty alone. David's butterfly pieces explore harmony, joy, relationships, action, and emotion, giving the work a deeply personal and human dimension.
His art has been exhibited internationally and shown through several galleries, including Clarendon Fine Art, Whitwall Galleries in the UK, Gallery 23 in New York City, and galleries in Dubai, Germany, and the Netherlands. His work is also part of the permanent collection of the St. Regis Hotel in Doha, Qatar, and has been collected by celebrities, professional athletes, and notable private collectors.
From Photography and Beauty Imagery to Fine Art
Born and raised in New Jersey, David discovered photography at the age of ten. After earning his MFA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, he went on to assist celebrated photographers including Albert Watson, Steve Hiett, and Michael Thompson.
His background in portraiture, beauty imagery, and still life led to work with major publications including Allure, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, French Glamour, and French Elle, as well as advertising campaigns for beauty brands.
That foundation in both fine art and photography helped shape David's unmistakable point of view - editorial, glamorous, refined, and emotionally charged. It also laid the groundwork for a brand that would bring his artistic language into a new category: functional luxury.
Where Art, Fashion, and Luxury Meet
A defining element of David's work is the way it merges fine art, fashion, pop culture, and modern luxury. His visual world balances sophistication with energy, blending beauty, symbolism, and expressive form in a way that feels both elevated and contemporary.
That creative intersection became the natural bridge to David Stesner ArtHouse, where original artwork is reimagined as objects designed to be used, lived with, and loved.
