David Manners FRSA

Artistic background

I'm professional artist since 2012 after a career in mathematics followed by a long illness.
Painting became my saviour having been diagnosed with PTSD.
I work only in oil and more recently only on birch panels, sealed and triple primed before a ground is painted.
I share a gallery in Lower East Side Manhattan New York City and have exhibited in the USA, UK, Australia, Mexico, France, Italy and Sweden.
I've been very fortunate in having painted portraits of such people as Nadiya Hussain, Oti Mabuse, Enya and even Barack and Michelle Obama.
