David didn't choose to become an artist. He didn't study formally, yearn for it in idle moments, nor plan a change in lifestyle. However, opportunity arose and art appeared, as though stirring from a very long sleep. Big things start out small and before David knew it, he was transported down a road signposted art.
David takes us on a journey into the mysterious heart of a creative world and the wonders of discovery. He has a knack for connecting underlying ideas and principles, shining a light on the enigmatic and creating reverence for its magic. The book includes some practical and enabling ideas: expression, abstraction and rhythm bubble up during the creative process with colour casting life to everything it touches. These flow throughout the pages, creating a powerful motivator for art and art-making as a sustaining part of a fulfilling life.
Illuminated by 100 of David's works, this book is a joy for artists, lovers of art and for all who would pursue that creative spark!
More than a few people have commented on David's starting point as an Engineer - we are all something-artists: parent-artists, lawyer-artists, athlete-artists and so on. Our world often obscures hidden talent by way of roles and vocations though it was not always so. Art is invariably there, at times under the covers - a latent dimension of life. Art is inside all of us and wherever we are and however it may manifest, it's every bit as much of us as we can dream.
