About the Artist

David Goteiner immigrated to the United States in 1948 at the age of 18 months from Mannheim, in what was then the American Sector of occupied Germany. His interest led him into the sciences a Stuyvesant High School in New York City and biology at Brooklyn College. He received his dental and specialty training at Columbia and Harvard. He was a practicing periodontist in Chester NJ, is Clinical Professor at Rutgers University, School of Dental Medicine and is an attending emeritus at Morristown Medical Center.

He lives in Bridgewater New Jersey with his wife, Carrie.

His love of the arts developed at an early age prompting him to take courses and challenge himself in various mediums. In 1982, he met Anatoly Ivanov, then a recent Russian immigrant and highly regarded painter. From that moment on, he discovered his passion to paint. He has been studying with the artist ever since. When he is not working or teaching, he can be found happily engrossed behind his latest canvas.
