David Mohrmann began his artistic career as a painter, and has had numerous exhibitions of his work. As a playwright, he produced ten plays, and taught for fifteen years in the theater department at Humboldt State University, where he specialized in “Theater of the Oppressed.” He has also taught theatre at Pelican Bay State Prison.
After retiring in 2005, he began writing short stories, and has had five of the thirty published.
His first novel (XOCOMIL, The Winds of Atitlán) grew out of one of those stories. It is informed by his many travels through Guatemala, beginning in the mid 1970’s.
He is now living in Arcata, California--with frequent trips to Guatemala--and working on his second novel, The Very Last Thought.
