David’s drawing style developed as a young boy. He was born in St. Asaph, North Wales and went to school in the area until moving to England to earn undergraduate honors degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Economics from the University of Birmingham. Subsequently he moved to Paris, France and lived there for six years during which time he was honored to have his first show of Indian ink and brush paintings on Canson paper. This Paris exhibition depicting “The Body as Architecture” was sponsored and curated by Dr. Caroline Boyle-Turner, the art historian, and Gauguin scholar. David continued to paint and earned graduate degrees in engineering from Northeastern University, and worked as an engineer for over 30 years while raising a family in New England. David’s love for art and creating unique paintings finally came full circle in 2007 when he met International award winning artist, Sharon Morley, APS. Sharon saw something in the extensive collection of Indian ink paintings that he had created over the years and encouraged him to put color to them. Now as a full time artist he creates works of art that bring light to the imagination, the mind and the eyes.
Two large examples of David’s artworks “Pressure” and “Ten Years Before” were displayed at the “Art en Capital” show held at the Grand Palais, Paris, 25 – 30 November, 2014 in the Artistes Independants section of the show. “Ten Years Before” was awarded the “Toile D’Or De l’Annee 2015” by the Federation Nationale De La Culture Francaise.
