Art is always an abstraction. Formed by the artists hand, each creation a visual response to the observed subject, but it can never be flesh and blood. At best however, it can awaken in the viewer a deeper understanding of what is. Through a life-long study of nature and form, David strives to communicate his deep fascination in the natural world. A distillation of thousands of hours of observation, life drawing, travel and adventure informs his work. He is a watcher of people and animals, a searcher for the beating heart that connects all life.
