DAVID POXON R.I. , N.W.S.

David was born in the Industrial heartland of England, but now makes his home in the rural countryside of Shropshire. Over the years he has won many awards and accolades for the precision and craftsmanship of his pure watercolour paintings. In 2010 he was elected a full member of the exclusive Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, (the R.I.) who’s Patron is H.M.Queen Elizabeth. In 2012 he became a signature member of the National Watercolor Society of America (N.W.S). David has works in collections worldwide, has been the subject of  numerous articles in the art press and has authored two books on drawing techniques.

“I love to zoom in on abandoned corners or overlooked machinery, and  am continuously drawn to things and places that have worked hard for a living. These objects and scenarios seem to imbue something of the men that created them. Not just content to make things that were fit for purpose they also harbour a living character and aesthetic harmony which is both joyous and soulful .To capture the reality and essence of these moments in time, as nature reclaims them for her own, I consciously leave nothing out, and put nothing in, that is not there. I do this out of respect for those that have enriched our world with their astute craftsmanship.”
