We welcome David Cemmick as our guest for September, and sincerely hope you can join us and David for the preview on the evening of Thursday 4th September.

David’s work includes large-scale public commissions, and he has exhibited extensively, in the UK and overseas. Based in Cumbria, many roles have inspired his art, such as ​​ taxidermist, conservationist, illustrator, scientific field recorder, commercial figurine designer, lecturer and teacher, and figurative and animal artist. Recycling is another passion, including tearing and glueing deconstructed cardboard.

Through a life-long study of nature and form, David strives to communicate his deep fascination in the natural world. A distillation of thousands of hours of observation, life drawing, travel and adventure informs his work. He is a watcher of people and animals, a searcher for the beating heart that connects all life.

Come along and enjoy David's work over a glass of wine and find out more about his thoughts, motivations and creative process.
