David Ussery

Bold. Emotional. Unapologetically Unique.

David Ussery is a self-taught artist originally from Savannah, Georgia, now based in Orlando, where he has been an active part of the local art scene since the 1990s. His work sits at the intersection of impressionism, expressionism, and lowbrow art, combining bold color, raw emotion, and a sharp sense of humor.

Inspired by animals, landscapes, and the complexity of human emotion, Ussery’s paintings often explore moments that feel familiar yet slightly off. While his subjects vary, the human form remains a recurring focus. Awkward, vulnerable, expressive. It’s where honesty tends to surface.

Ussery’s work favors presence over perfection. Each piece is created with intention, embracing texture, imperfection, and emotional weight rather than polish for its own sake. The result is art that feels personal, lived-in, and quietly confrontational.

A regular presence at local shows and a passionate contributor to the Orlando creative community, David Ussery creates work for collectors who want art that doesn’t blend into the background.

This is art for the curious.

Art for the bold.

Art for the unapologetically unique.
