After a career in drug development I have revisited my first love of art and design. I was taught by my mother to hand knit and sew at an early age and this has never left me. Throughout my life I’ve never been far from a pair of knitting needles.
Inspired by the beauty of East Lothian I always knit with sustainable wool in landscape colours. My favourite colour is green … any shade of green. My favourite yarn is hands down Rowan felted tweed, but I also love Spindrift from Jamiesons of Shetland.

Photography
I am a photographer using mostly a large format camera with transparency film. Reflecting on my aims early on, I summed them up with the phrase: I make images with the landscape not of it. Much of my work has been in the Highlands and especially in Glen Etive. I aim to make images capable of various levels of interpretation.
75% of all my proceeds will be donated to the RNLI.
Printmaking
David is a printmaker, poet and photographer. Based in East Lothian he draws inspiration from the landscape locally and internationally, often combining images with words in a single creative response to the landscape. He has exhibited previously as part of the Aberlady Open Studios and has published poetry in a range of periodicals and collections.
