David was born in 1951 and spent much of his youth in northern Ontario where his love of painting began in his early teens. His interest in art was enhanced when, as a teenager he happened to meet Group of Seven member A. Y. Jackson painting in the woods of Kleinburg Ontario.

David's original artwork represents a variety of subjects including landscapes, florals and contemporary works. The "Lakeside" series focuses on northern Ontario landscapes that are rich in colour and texture. His "Contemporary Abstract" series has allowed him to develop a style that resembles a "sculpture on canvas". He paints towards a vision using palette knives and intense, deep, rich and vibrant colours that come alive and evoke deep emotional responses. These original oils are very affordable with an average price range of $300 to $900. This is excellent value for a one of a kind original painting.

David and his wife Carole have recently relocated to the town of Bracebridge. "This area offers me true inspiration for my art, especially the Lakeside series," said David.
