is what I believe surrounding yourself with beautiful artworks is all about.

Selecting a vision which appeals to your well being, your inner psyche or simply brightens your life is also a key to happiness, of a pleasurable existence.

David is a dynamic and prolific artist. Often spontaneous, producing works with freshness and movement. Using lot’s of paint, his vibrant creations come alive!

I believe David is one of few people in the world who truly find the course in life they are meant for. Painting is what he was born to do. It incessantly poures out of him. I’ve not ever known him to be concerned about what he is to paint next, only how soon can he get to his canvas to start.

It’s very cool to do what you love. And for me it needs to come from the heart. Colour is something that has always held a fascination for me, a certain sense of excitement.

Within all the noise of the world, painting is where I find peace. It becomes my meditation. It’s where I find focus and lose myself in the creation, not knowing the outcome until the journey is complete. Then, I sign it.

My art is not always necessarily a conscious act. I simply begin, most often not knowing what may be created, and just play with the textures and shades using various tools that may just be lying around. A block of wood, or end of a saw, or even a plastic bag may come into my work.

Then again at other times I start to paint with a fully conscious direction, having already formed the picture in my minds eye.

I have an enormous feeling of joy and peace while I work. I have such an inner sense of excitement when a piece is completed that it brings me a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I love the knowing that people gain enjoyment out of my work.

Australian, abstract expressionist artist, a vibrant, motivated soul, who after a near death experience in 1999 heeded the ‘wake up’ call and changed career paths from clothing designer to artist.

Beginning with pure abstracts in an exploration of colour, David began outright with his own easily distinguishable style, adding to his repertoire jungle birds, which evolved to the now trademark cockatoo, turtles, gecko’s, landscapes, flowers and much more as he continues his journey enjoying the pure visual delight he instils with his paintings.
