"I paint because it's what I've always wanted to do. I don't think that much about why I do it. As for what I paint, it follows that I don't analyze that too much either. Whatever catches my eye, intrigues me and sparks a feeling of immediacy. Whatever excites me."

They spent 1992 together in Florence, Italy for the year and have been travelling, working and showing together ever since. David has had several successful solo shows in St. John's and Toronto.
