About Dave Alber
A storyteller at heart, Dave Alber crafts worlds where the line between history and mystery blurs.
With a passion for blending rich narratives with immersive, cutting-edge technologies, he invites readers to explore both the past and the present through vivid, multi-dimensional storytelling.
Whether it’s the winding alleys of Suzhou or the shadows of forgotten legends, Dave’s work captivates with its intricate characters, timeless themes, and gripping suspense.
When he’s not writing, you can find him exploring new ways to merge the worlds of art and narrative—constantly searching for the next story that demands to be told.
“Creative expression from travel impressions married to art. I travel and I oil paint. So I was really surprised, so pleasantly surprised when I met Dave and discovered his concept of travel art. I mean it was like plunking down in a bus seat after a weary day and turning to see a long lost friend right beside you. I just never thought of travel ideas and art together. And so I recognized paintings of his that captured places he had been which often require a quickness of wit, humor and reflection as not to be lost by the time we are somewhere else. A snapshot of a magic moment or impression. Surprised pleasantly by the concept of travel art and I shall integrate that into my paintings as well. Thank you David!”

“This is a marriage of art with technology. It isn’t only one or the other, but a seamless blend of both.”

“Fascinating idea to combine travel art into a book and a website community! Intimations is a short, very colorful e-book that introduces readers both to Dave Alber’s artwork, writing, and travel journeys (He’s been on the road around the world for years.) and to his Travel Art Adventurer’s Club. Alber’s paintings and drawings, along with the sometimes accompanying text, help readers connect with the cultures in which Alber has chosen to immerse himself. Seeing these slices of life in full color renderings make the scenes come alive. Alber captures expressions beautifully, such as the example of child in the cart on page 28.”
