Artist Biography - David Bowyer

David Bowyer was trained as an abstract painter; his work has matured to reflect his interest in English landscape, architecture and wild life. He is a full time professional artist/printmaker, making his limited edition colour etchings and other works on paper in his studio close to his home in Blackheath. His printmaking develops in parallel with his watercolours and drawings, creating relating bodies of work.

David's images are largely based on his experience of landscapes made familiar through repeated visits although he has been known to go underwater and even underground in search of subjects.


Over the Stile by David Bowyer

David acts as tutor on the Summer Painting Break at Parceval Hall in Wharfdale, North Yorkshire, and in its variety and scale the area has long been a source of inspiration. More recently David has been leading short, intensive courses in watercolour painting at Denman College, near Abingdon, national residential education centre of the Women's Institute (open also to non-WI-members).

He continues to be an active member of the Greenwich Printmakers, co-ordinating the co-operative's invited participation in the forthcoming 'Impressions' exhibition hosted by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.

Other current projects include working towards showing watercolours later in 2005 with the 'Sharing a View' group at the Burton Art Gallery, Bideford, following a working week in Linton, North Devon last autumn, and exhibitions at the Stark Gallery, Canterbury and Artshed, New Milton, Hampshire.
