About the Artist
David is a Toronto-area artist,
specializing in railway subjects. Just 36
years old, he has already amassed a
comprehensive body of work in
watercolour, acrylic and oil. While he
has had some formal training at the
Ontario College of Art, David is largely
self-taught. He has a passion for
placing technically accurate subjects in
believable settings, with particular
attention to lighting, shading and
texture. He confesses to being
influenced by a number of railway
artists, notably Ted Rose and Howard
Fogg. His railroad art has an uncanny
ability to place the viewer in scenes
that would otherwise be quite
impossible. David's works hang in
