Mr David Frederick Davies

David Davies is a very determined person who does not give up. His achievements through the years have mainly been in the arts, but has covered a lot of ground from critical studies, photography, painting, restoration, marquetry, writing and computer art. He studied at the Hull school of art and design (2003) and West Dean college where he studied conservation and restoration of antique furniture (2006). David has performed his poetry, and even collaborated with other artists to write and perform a small play called, ‘Gnome Alone’. David has exhibited his paintings at various group shows. For example, the Engine room gallery and ADF gallery (arts disability forum); 54o North Festival and East Belfast Arts Festival.

David is a creative writer who focuses mainly on poetry, but also writes short stories. David has self-published four books, which as dyslexic writer has shown his determination and hard work. He also has a passion for painting where he often combines his writing with painting. He has several poems printed in various anthologies, Lagan Navigation Trust (Where my river flows), The John Hewitt Society (Once Alien Here) and the Poetry Church magazine. He hopes to further his writing and painting.
