Since his first one-man exhibition in 1976 in Toowoomba Australia at the age of 21, David has had more than 60 solo exhibitions including paintings, sculpture and photographs in locations around the world.
David has travelled and painted widely in the United States and UK and is represented extensively in collections both in Australia and overseas.  While his work is principally oils on canvas or linen, he has also produced many gouache works and sculpture as well as holding two exhibitions of his photographs. His style has been described as “contemporary impressionism”.
He trained under Brisbane artist, John Rigby, painting as a teenager with contemporaries Tomas McAulay and Rex Backhaus Smith and also studied under premier Australian landscape artist and Archibald prize-winner, William Robinson at the University of Southern Queensland.
Described by the late James Gleeson as having an “exceptional talent”, he has emerged from 3 decades of work in the public domain to return with renewed passion to his career as a painter.
