| At the age of 5, David Ligare moved with his family from Oak Park, Illinois, to the California coast. As a young man he studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
Youthful peregrinations followed, both in Europe (he actually walked up to and knocked on the front door of Salvador Dalí’s home in Port Lligat on the Costa Brava in Spain and spent the afternoon chatting with the aristocratic surrealist in the artist’s studio) and in the United States, especially in New York City. Ligare eventually settled in Monterey County on the California coast. The surrounding dramatic coastal lands served as subjects and backgrounds for many of his paintings.
