David Umholtz (1943–2014) was an American-born Canadian artist and printmaker, known for his work in lithography, serigraphy, and etching. Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he studied art education before moving to Canada in 1973. A passionate educator, he taught at several institutions including the University of Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and Emily Carr College of Art and Design. In 1977, Umholtz founded Moosehead Press in Winnipeg, where he produced prints for himself and other prominent Canadian artists. He had solo exhibitions across Canada and the United States, and his works are held in major Canadian collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
