An accomplished painter of the Australian Landscape, in a representational style, and Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW.
“For me painting the landscape is about capturing the light and atmosphere of the subject, and whilst it may essentially represent a single moment in time it is, at the same time, timeless. As Tom Roberts so eloquently stated: “By making art the perfect expression of one time and one place, it becomes for all time and of all places”. My subjects include the striking colours of the far west, the pastoral scenes of the central west to our scenic coastline”.
David’s interest in painting began as a school student and with the encouragement of his parents continued to develop. After leaving school he worked for the Commonwealth Bank and painted in his spare time with his art displayed in a local exhibition for the first time in 1985. David entered the commercial gallery network in 1987 and has not looked back. With more than 100 first prizes to his credit (more than $100,000 in total prize money) – it is a testament to his ability to create a quality piece of art.
Published in Australian Artist Magazine, including four feature articles, and Max Germaine’s Artists & Galleries of Australia (1990 edition). Paintings held in private and municipal collections in Australia and private collections overseas, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and the USA.
