About David…

Thursday, 04 September, 2008

David was born in Dover in 1950.

He sometimes attended Dover Grammar School for boys and went on to study Art at Wolverhampton College from 1968-72. He thrived there on a training, which reflecting the time, was both traditional and avant garde.

David has maintained his art practice throughout his life, supporting it through a wide variety of work experiences. He has always travelled extensively, spending long periods of time in many countries including Peru, Costa Rica, India, Nepal and the Gulf Region - always taking photographs, painting, sketching and collecting the ephemera and images that form the foundation of much of his work.

David combines his diverse experience with his acute powers of observation to create his artworks. The more you view his substantial body of paintings, photographs and collages, the more intriguing it becomes.

Over the past five years David's innovative approach to aviation art has established him as a leading artist in this field and has lead to a number of invitations to exhibit internationally.

David's work is held in private and corporate collections around the world.

He is happily married to his gorgeous wife Carole and currently lives and works in Wiltshire.
