David Meyer's work explores many aspects of the human condition in relationship to the physical world through his unique approach to materials and objects. His work ranges from installations to simple objects that compel the viewer to take a second look. He has had solo exhibitions in the United States at the Turchin Art Center in North Carolina, Leedy Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, San Antonio College, Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts and the Skybox in Philadelphia.

In 2000 Meyer was awarded an NEA funded fellowship from the Delaware Division of the Arts for Emerging Professional Artist. In that same year, he showed two works in the Delaware Art Museum's Biennial 2000 exhibition one of which was a time-based outdoor site-specific piece. Other juried and curated group exhibitions include the Arlington Arts Center and Reston Art Center in Virginia, Edison Place Gallery in D.C. and Vox Populi, James Oliver Gallery and LG Tripp Gallery in Philadelphia.

 He has had two large-scale commissioned works completed in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Tribal Monument was conceived and constructed in 1989-1996, in which Meyer designed and developed an intersected circular earthwork in honor of the thirty-six tribal governments of Oklahoma on the North Mall of the Oklahoma State Capitol. The second work was the Oklahoma City Memorial, which was commissioned 1996, by the regional Archdiocese of Oklahoma. The large granite site-specific piece was designed in recognition of the survivors and in remembrance of the 168 people killed in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building.

Currently, he lives in Delaware and is an Associate Professor of the Sculpture Area at the University of Delaware.
