Born in Lincolnshire in 1948, David studied Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art where he gained a Degree in painting. He then spent a postgraduate year at Goldsmiths College.

After graduating he spent time experimenting with sculpture and various printmaking techniques particularly silkscreen, but as his work evolved he became more attracted to the immediacy of paint, his new work finding an appreciative audience.

David specialises in English landscapes, coastal and beach scenes with an emphasis on the East Anglian countryside where he lives and works.

David is able to take a moment in time and recreate the watery light of early dawn, a long shadowy evening or a sun-drenched summer beach.
