Since then he has combined a prolific and successful career as a sculptor and painter with numerous solo shows, residencies and commissions combined with a career in teaching in further and Higher education, mainly in the South West.  His distinctive and visually immersive paintings are inspired by the Wiltshire landscape.

Davids' use of colour is fresh and original and his mark-making is captivating. With a fascination of mapmaking and the dichotomy between the changing and the timeless nature of the Wiltshire landscape.

David is inspired by a long line of mystical landscape artists going back to William Blake, Wordsworth and Samuel Palmer, Continuing into the 20th century with the landscape painter Paul Nash, the filmmaker and painter Peter Greenaway and the filmmaker and his tutor at the Slade School of Fine Art: Chris Welsby.
