DAVID WILSON
Born in Gillingham, Kent, David Wilson started painting in 1969, beginning with acrylics before tackling oils and watercolours. He later studied etching and lithography at evening classes at the Heatherley School of Art in London.
In 1981 he moved with his family to Bridell, north Pembrokeshire, where he now lives on the family farm; this area, which he has known and loved for many years, provides the subject matter for much of his work. He signs his work “David Wilson Bridell” (from 1986). His studio gallery on the farm was opened in 2007.
