David Stansfield

David studied at Blackburn College of Art and Design and has worked for many years as a Commercial Artist and illustrator of childrens books and greetings cards for top publishers such as Hallmark. David lives and works from his studio just outside of St Newlyn East and is known for creating quirky images of boats and VW campervans with intricate detail on material such as driftwood. After moving to Cornwall several years ago David describes himself as being totally blown away by the natural light, scenery and beauty of the Cornish countryside. The rugged North Cornwall coastline, exposure to it’s wild and sometimes destructive power, gnarly fishing ports and pretty villages all have an influence on David’s work.
