Dave Rentz is the featured artist for the month of March at the Red Rooster Café in Old Town Cottonwood.

The Red Rooster is an eclectic café featuring a breakfast and lunch menu, along with work created by local artists. A popular gathering place for locals, it also welcomes visitors with open arms.

Rentz’s art is based on an aboriginal, pointillism technique of dotting, and montage or collage blends of images, which can be found arranged in traditional framed format or on found thing pieces, three- and two-dimensional.

Rentz is an artist, musician/percussionist, singer/songwriter, and is known as the 3 Ds: Dot Dave, Deacon Dave and Drummer Dave. He has resided in the Sedona-Verde Valley area for 35 years, spreading his original art form of recycled and dotted 2-D and 3-D art pieces, fun-loving music and stories while inspiring others to do the same.

He said he finds peace and inspiration out camping, spending several days and nights of as many weeks as he can living in nature.

Of his work, he said, “It’s the best things I have ever found to do. It’s a place I can go to get away, get away so far off and yet so near.” His art work is featured at West of the Moon gallery in Flagstaff.

Drop in at Red Rooster Café most Sundays for a morning brunch with Rentz playing his diverse music, from native flute, percussion, digeridoo, ukulele, mandolin and original lyrics.
