| Born 17th of August 1963, Morecambe, Lancashire, UK. Completed an Art Foundation course at Preston Polytechnic in 80/81, but went on to work in the construction industry as a joiner. Lectured in joinery for 12 years whilst also developing his aspirations to paint full time. David exhibited in various venues in the northwest, (Storey Gallery Lancaster, Harris Museum Preston etc). He also exhibited at the Manchester Art Fair and the Mall Galleries London before selling his work through a national fine art publisher. His work can be found in collections throughout the UK and Europe.
In 2013 he set off with his partner, Kath and his easel, on a round the world cycle trip...'living the dream' of travel and escapism.
Now living in the Chamonix Valley, French Alps, painting scenes of his new surroundings and those inspired by his travels along the Mediterranean coastline.
"I started on my journey with the intention to paint beaches, people, objects...describing the desire to escape from 'normal' life.
Cycling along the coastline discovering new places, experiencing the heat, sweat and sand with the desire to record an impression of the ultimate destination, a place to escape to!
The translucent waters and secluded coves of Italy have inspired me to revisit places closer to home....now I'm obsessed with aerial views of Cornish coves!!'
