David Davies

Large Scale Pastels on Watercolour Paper

David’s career embodies the innovation that has shaped British art and design since the 1960s. Trained in product and interior design, with early influences from Scandinavia, he has consistently pursued the integration of function and beauty. A lifelong painter, his creative partnership with artist Hannah Smeds deepened his exploration of colour, form, and landscape. Known for his pioneering pastel techniques, David creates vivid, large-scale works that reflect his belief in the harmony of art and design—an ethos fully realised in the evolving artistic environment of Maiden Bridge.
