David was born in Shanghai, China and spent his early childhood in Bangkok, Thailand. Later, at school in Hampshire, England, he discovered an innate love of art and was encouraged to develop his artistic talent. After coming to Canada, he graduated from L'Ecole des Beaux Arts, Montreal. It was here that his unique vision emerged.

  His works range from the abstract to the realistic, but recently he has favored acrylic canvasses of Canadian landscapes, inspired by his travels. David insists on painting easy-to-find places. "I'm not about to hike ten miles, then canoe and portage for another ten miles to find my inspiration. It comes to me on Hwy. 401, behind the motel where I'm staying, or visiting at a friend's cottage. All my landscapes are real and I can tell you where they were painted. Perhaps you'll recognize a few spots.

 An award-winning graphic designer for the past 35 years, David currently lives in Bobcaygeon with his wife, Sharon.

His paintings have shown at:
"The Emerging Collector", Toronto, "The Gallery on the Lake", Buckhorn, "Studio 737", Tweed, "Whetung Gallery", Curve Lake, "The Buckhorn Wildiife Art Festival", and 'The National Capital Art Festival", Ottawa, "Merrickville Fine Arts Show", "Westport Art Festival", "Polio Plus Fine Art Show", Peterborough.
