David’s first official sale came in 1986<br />
when his paintings of the Market Hall and<br />
<strong>Wigan</strong> Pier were bought by <strong>Wigan</strong> MBC<br />
to be added to the Town’s collection.<br />
And this was another winner for him<br />
both personally and professionally as<br />
the painting of the Market Hall won<br />
another local competition. David added,<br />
“I had the painting turned into prints<br />
and it was remarkably successful, so I<br />
produced some more of <strong>Wigan</strong> Pier and<br />
Central Park, which proved very popular.<br />
The affinity people have with their<br />
hometown is enormously powerful”<br />
David continued, “Alongside creating<br />
my own artwork, I am deeply<br />
passionate about both Art History<br />
and contemporary Fine Artists. In my<br />
spare time I am constantly researching<br />
different Artists and Art styles. I am<br />
creative person and as well as art, I have<br />
always been very much into music and I<br />
enjoy playing classical guitar when I get<br />
the chance. I also really enjoy getting out and about for<br />
family walks in Haigh Hall and Mesnes Park with our dog.”<br />
Some of David’s most iconic work features well-known<br />
<strong>Wigan</strong> scenes and in contrast to Parbold, David says,<br />
“<strong>Wigan</strong> is a much busier landscape and I like to capture<br />
the hustle and bustle of town life and to see how this<br />
changes the outcome of my work. Growing up, I used to<br />
love going to <strong>Wigan</strong> Casino nights and Northern Soul has<br />
really motivated me in the past.”
