I’m Dave, a professional artist who specializes in capturing the stunning land and seascapes of North Wales.

 

I was born in Aberystwyth but now live in Flintshire where I also run my own gallery with the help of my family.

 

I work exclusively in pastel and was elected to The Pastel Society in 2024.

 

Dramatic skies and water feature heavily in my paintings and they are full of vivid colours and detail. In fact, observers appreciate the almost photographic quality of some pieces.

​

Anyone who knows the mountains or coasts of North Wales won’t need me to explain where I find my inspiration.

​​

I’ll often go walking at dawn or dusk, when the light is at its most dramatic. Being alone in the mountains, especially in the dark, is one of the most ethereal experiences I know.

 

​​I’m also fortunate enough to have my own gallery here at my home in Caerwys, Flintshire. In addition to my own paintings, the gallery displays work by lots of other leading Welsh artists and has a programme of exciting and ever-changing exhibitions.

Many of my paintings are available as limited edition prints and I am always delighted to undertake commissions.
