Welcome. I’m Dave Rothstein. I’m a sculptor, photographer, printmaker and illustrator. My snow sculptures are larger-than-life and ephemeral. But my photography is quite the opposite, focusing on the smallest of details. The rest of my work falls in between. But no matter the medium, I court a relatable whimsy – a playfulness that draws upon both the natural world and word play. Through my art, I ask you to reconsider the mundane. You won’t ever think about snow or doughnuts the same way again.
Browse. Enjoy. Even laugh.
I live in Northampton, Massachusetts in the United States. My studio is anywhere the snow is falling. And I’m a strong proponent of both public art and collaboration to tell important stories and seek change.
Family, friends, and fans, please share your memories of Dave Rothstein, who left this world on November 11, 2025. There have been many beautiful, heartfelt tributes on social networks, but we’d also like to gather these thoughts on his own website. Social media sites come and go, but we hope this site will be a permanent place to share memories for everyone who cared about this uniquely creative, kind, gentle man.
