A passion of drawing and painting initiated Davids interest in Architecture , much of the architecture is developed on the computer with CAD programmes,  sketching is used at  concept stage and to work out design problems.  With this move away from paper David has continued with painting and drawing, mainly places and people.  It would be his aim to combine painting and architecture with “People in Places” and exhibit, he would also be open to commissions.  Some examples of his work are shown below.
