About David Lake:

David’s art career began in high school with an enthusiasm for both drawing and subsequently painting and was encouraged by his parents.

He worked initially with watercolours and painted birds and animals. However, it was the oil paints that held his attention, and that’s when he made the transition to painting landscapes.

David has been painting for more than thirty years, and on a full-time basis since 2002. Originally from Sydney, he now resides in the small town of Newbridge in the NSW central tablelands.

He has developed his own distinctive style that has won him awards and commendations since 1991, including the Combined Art Societies of Sydney – Artist of the Year for 2007, 2008, and 2009.

His paintings can be found in private and municipal collections in Australia and private collections overseas, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and the USA.

David is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of New South Wales. He is also a member of the Oatley 101 Society of Artists and a participant on the Bathurst Arts Trail.
