Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my website. After nearly a decade I decided that rather than using it to show different aspects of my art work I would be more specific, use more explanations and links to pass on the things I've learnt, hopefully communicating my ideas better. Enjoy.
My paintings start with research into landscape, folklore, mythology and local history, but where my paintings end up is it’s own business. It’s good to go off-piste sometimes, not have an intended destination and follow your feet. Other times while painting, I feel that I need to accurately document what i have seen/researched to faithfully pass it on.
I don’t have any shows planned at the moment due to the pandemic but I am regularly posting on Instagram.
I now have a second I feed called ‘dav white art variant’. Follow me.
