About
Photography by JoJo Moreschi.
David is a painter based in the city of Plymouth. Born in Dublin and educated in Glasgow, he has travelled a great deal. Fourteen years in the Royal Navy saw him journey to North America, the Middle East, Egypt, the Falklands and the West Indies amongst other places.
Painting has always been a passion for David from his early teens. He began attending art classes, whilst still studying at school, at The Glasgow School of Art on Saturday mornings.
For many years he was primarily a landscape painter. In the last few years he has become more adventurous and has broadened his horizons artistically. He loves music so it is not unusual to hear music by Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson, Leonard Cohen and the Classic Blues singers drifting out of his Studio window, amongst other musicians.
