His parents were talented amateur artists and his sister, Bronwyn, is a globally renowned ceramicist. He trained in Florence under the legendary octogenarian drawing teacher, Nerina Simi. From there he went on to be an apprentice wood carver and then joined a community of marble carvers in Pietresanta beneath the Carrara Mountains. He attended the Sir John Cass School of Art in London and a group show cemented David’s reputation and soon he was travelling round Britain sculpting commissioned portraits. Exhibitions at the Bruton Gallery, Agnews, Sladmore and the Cadogan Contemporary followed.
