Bio

Dave’s work can be seen most Saturday mornings on MPBN at 10:30. incredibleMAINE, a hit show Dave and his Producer Marilyn Taylor created together in 2006. After 40 episodes, several Telly awards and Maine’s only Emmy nomination for 2008, what you see is what you get.
Dave also composes and performs, with Jim Stewart, Cliff Knapp and Brad Wilkinson, original music for every show. Starting with piano lessons at six, when his teacher called Dave her best student ever, to his first guitar phase in the folk era, hanging out at Boston’s legendary Golden Vanity, Club 47 and other coffeehouses with Tom Rush, Sonnie and Brownie, Rev. Gary Davis, Kweskin Jug Band, etc., to a hit which remains in the surf canon next to Wipe Out and Dick Dale, Hangin’ Five by the Reveliers, through his 20-year stint in business and re-emergence in the 90s with Starks Naked and the pilgrimage to Santa Fe where he soundtracked his first feature-length film and signed a recording contract, back to Maine where his music is now heard by thousands every week.
Dave’s early home movies, made when he was 12-14, show the cinematic promise that would take 50 years to fulfill. At 19, photography took hold, and led him to the top of the mountain with a summer in residence with Minor White and international publication in Aperture magazine. In the 70s, Dave began a freelance career for a clientele that included Bates, Bowdoin and Colby, U Maine System, Maine Technical College System, NYA, Gould Academy, Bennington College, and many more.
Dave’s photography was reborn in 1995 during a Maine Media Workshop with Sean Kernan, which led to gallery representation in Santa Fe, several juried shows and one-man shows in Santa Fe and Brunswick, Maine. Current work can be seen at http://www.DaveWilkinsonArt.com.
Dave has done Ipix 360-degree internet photography for real estate web listings, pioneering techniques in image enhancement.
When the chance came to shoot and edit a TV show, Dave jumped at the chance. With Marilyn Taylor’s experienced coaching, Dave combined his computer expertise with his musical and graphic abilities to make good use of the newly available HD cameras. Dave has never shot video in anything but HD. He has taken the material needed to become a certified instructor in Final Cut Pro and Logic, as he has long been similarly qualified in PhotoShop. Dave has also taught college-level courses in Audio Production and Santa Fe Community College.
With the great gift of LC Van Savage on camera, incredibleMAINE has become a favorite, with a legion of devoted viewers who never miss a show.
Dave has also produced a documentary feature, http://www.GONEdocumentary.com. This historic re-enactment involved period costumes, vehicles, boats and FX. Now making its way through the festival process, GONE will be seen in Maine later in 2010.
