Cherry graduated from high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where his sister, noted above, was his Latin teacher. He also took art classes in high school. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a B.A. then earned his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law and was admitted to the bar in Oklahoma. He began working for a law firm that specialized in regulations affecting the trucking industry. When this industry was deregulated by the U.S. government, he found his law skills less marketable. He then made the decision to try to make a living doing work he really enjoyed, drawing and painting. Cherry has illustrated cards for the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game. The book Imagination: The Art & Technique of David A. Cherry (1987, ISBN 0-898-65564-1) is a collection of Cherry's own work and description of his techniques, and was nominated for a Hugo Award for best non-fiction book in 1988. Cherry was the Artist Guest of Honor at ConJosé, the 60th World Science Fiction Convention in San Jose, California in 2002. Cherry has two children and lives and works near Dallas, Texas.
