David Meyer's work explores many aspects of the human condition in relationship to the physical world through his unique approach to materials and objects. His work ranges from installations and large-scale outdoor commissions to simple objects that compel the viewer to take a second look. He has had solo exhibitions in the United States at The Delaplaine Visual Arts Center, Montgomery College, Pennsylvania School of Art and Design and an installation at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in 2001 Pennsylvania School of Art and Design and an installation at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in 2001. For this exhibition he filled the space with gold-leaf foil that freely moved as the viewer walked through the room toward a chamber of mirrors containing suspended glass objects. More recently he had an exhibition of a series of his paintings at Cubical Ten gallery in Baltimore, Maryland.

Meyer was awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship in 2000 from the Delaware Division of the Arts for Emerging Professional artists. In that same year, he showed two works in the Delaware Art Museum's Biennial 2000 exhibition one of which was a time-based outdoor site-specific piece. He has been in numerous juried and group exhibitions, most recently at the Arlington Arts Center in Virginia and Vox Populi in Philadelphia.

 He has had two large-scale commissioned works completed in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Tribal Monument was conceived and constructed in 1989-1996, in which Meyer designed and developed a intersected circular earthwork in honor of the thirty-six tribal governments of Oklahoma on the North Mall of the Oklahoma State Capitol. The second substantial piece was the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial, which was commissioned 1996, by the regional Archdiocese of Oklahoma. The large granite site-specific piece was designed in recognition of the survivors and in remembrance of the 168 people killed in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building.

Currently, he lives in Delaware and is an Assistant Professor of the Sculpture Area at the University of Delaware.
