Artist Statement: Experimenting with acrylics, mediums, pigments etc has turned into a passion and with every painting new ideas and techniques are implemented. With hands not steady enough to hold a brush, Dave uses his hands, trowels and various palette knives to move the paint to where he wants it and creates abstract/contemporary art with depth, texture and emotion.
Biography: Dave is a Canadian artist who creates paintings that are heavily inspired by his family and the music that he enjoys while painting. His pieces are mainly abstract and non-objective lending themselves to be as interpretative as they are expressive.
Dave has always been an artist at heart. He became a professional photographer in 1993 and expanded his creative expression to painting in March 2017. He has been honored to have his paintings hung in various galleries & Art Shows in the Okanagan including Lake Country ArtWalk 2018 & 2019, The Penticton Art Gallery, Front St. Gallery, Gallery 97 in Peachland and the new 3 Winds Gallery & Ferdinand Gallery in Keremeos. He has also had work hung and sold at The Federation of Canadian Artist's gallery on Granville Island in Vancouver and makes regular contributions to local charities to raise funds in online and offline auctions.
Dave and his wife are residents of the Similkameen Valley, moving from the Lower Mainland and away from the bustle of the city in 2015 to a much quieter and less stressful way of life. He is a member of the South Similkameen Art Society, The Penticton Arts Council, is an active member of The Federation of Canadian Artists and can be contacted via email at dave@artisbrewin.com by phone @ 250 499 1222 or via his website at www.artisbrewin.com where there are many more of his paintings and photographs for show & sale.
