David Day was born in Ebbw Vale in 1941. He attended Ebbw Vale Grammar School, Newport College of Art and Leeds College of Art where he gained the National Degree in Design and Interior Design.
After a successful career as an interior designer, David started to paint. His initial art works were watercolour paintings. More recent paintings have been undertaken using acrylics. Typically he uses acrylic paint, indian ink and oil pastels to produce very distinctive paintings and limited edition prints.
David Day's formal training as a designer is reflected in many of his paintings and prints. His great love of colour, form and design is obvious. He produces paintings and prints acclaimed for their colour, rendition, detail and subtlety.
David Days recent limited edition prints verge on the abstract, many contrasting man-made structures against a background of local Welsh landscapes. His talent as an artist is now beginning brought to a wider audience and achieving recognition. In 2009 David was shortlisted for the Welsh Artist of the year award.
