David Nolt was born in 1980 with Multiple Congenital Arthrogryposis, a birth defect that left him without the use of his arms and hands. David began painting as a child, using oils to duplicate images of his surroundings. Today, David works from a studio in Leola, Pennsylvania.

When he is not painting, Nolt enjoys working with his telescope, which he maneuvers with a mouth stick.

“I am always inspired by the life around me, so I wanted to learn how to translate that to something that could be shared,” Nolt says. “I am looking forward to stretching my talents on behalf of the MFPA.”

David is an Associate Member of the Association.
