David is one of the leading new generation of botanical painters. He has exhibited both in Britain, including at the Royal Horticultural Society, and abroad. He invites you 'to pause and look at plants with a new eye, to see them as more than room decorations or the denizens of a garden. Their forms, textures and colours are a delight and a challenge.' David is a most sympathetic teacher who has run many workshops at The Garden Station.
