David has always found a deep magic and beauty in everything that he looks at examining the movement of light and shadow and the colour that moves through the forms that he interprets through his painting. He has always been involved in drawing and painting as far back as he can remember. Watching his mother paint as a young boy and having other relatives who also painted left him with a desire to take up the craft himself. He first began drawing at a very young age then moved to working in watercolour at the age of 12, he later added acrylic and oil to his interpretive palette.  He worked for 36 years in advertising creating designs and colour retouching work for many different clients and brings these disciplines into his paintings. As a full time painter now, his work continues to grow and David now has the time and energy to pursue his lifelong passion painting.

Artist Statement

My paintings explore the rhythms and patterns that occur within a landscape, focusing on the movement of light and the movement of colour representing the different incarnations of the land.

I work in three different mediums, watercolour, acrylic and recently oil. I work in these three mediums as scenes tend to lend themselves to one or the other. My current work explores a scene accompanied with poems written by myself, they are written in either a playful, imaginative or thought provoking way allowing the viewer to experience the visual in a different way.
