David Simonton

About

Preview, the publication of the North Carolina Museum of Art, called David Simonton "one of our state's finest photographers." In 2004, the museum inaugurated its North Carolina photography acquisitions program by purchasing two portfolios—those of Elizabeth Matheson and of Simonton. Simonton's photographs have been included in group and solo exhibitions in North Carolina and in juried exhibitions nationwide. His pictures have appeared in Photography Quarterly, The Photo Review, and The Southern Quarterly: A Journal of the Arts in the South. He is the recipient of grants and commissions, including two Visual Artist Fellowships from the North Carolina Arts Council (2000, 2008). In 2013, nine of Simonton's North Carolina photographs were acquired by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. To see more of his work, visit his website.
