Brief Bio for David
I have 23 qualifications, including a history degree and a professional qualification in law.
 
I began creating by writing books and screenplays.  I turned to painting in 2013 when a 9 year relationship ended.  My evenings became lonely so I painted to fill an empty space.  I suffer with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depression and Anxiety, I am also Dyslexic.  My disabilities give me the ability to visualise complex images.  I paint what I feel about what I see rather than merely what I see.  I am telling stories with my paintings.  It is for the observer to decide what the story is.  It may be different things to different people.
 
I am a member of the Midland Paint Group.  Originally I did very few exhibitions.  Then Christmas two years ago, the Group employed the services of a profession art critic, a professor in art at Birmingham University and member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artist.  He gave my confidence a great boost when he praised my work.  He suggested that I should exhibit and that I should present my work to the RBSA for exhibition, then he said he thought it so unique that it should be put to the RBA in London for exhibiting.

I originally set-up this website as a Printer and Publisher.  It has gone though many changes since then and is very much a work-in-progess.  I hope you will enjoy and come back.

Very many thanks - Dave
