Display artist/maker:

David Tress

Born: 1955, UK, England, London, Wembley

Painter. Initially studied A-Level biology before changing direction, first spending a year at Harrow College of Art and then continuing on to a Fine Art degree at Trent Polytechnic. Immediately on completion of his studies, Tress moved to Pembrokeshire, and it was here that his real career as an artist began. Starting from basic principles he explored what he saw around him – landscape, buildings, figures and interiors. The landscape of Pembrokeshire has remained a core subject and he paints regularly in other parts of Britain and Europe, particularly the west of Scotland and the Tarn area of the South of France. Tress has exhibited widely in Wales, England, Ireland, France, Holland and America and has works held in many public collections including The National Museum of Wales, The Contemporary Art Society for Wales, The National Library of Wales, MOMA Wales, The Guildhall Art Gallery City of London, and Pallant House Gallery Chichester.
