David Grosvenor was born in England in 1956. The son of a missionary he spent his early childhood in Madagascar. From an early age he showed an interest in and a talent for drawing and painting. At university in Exeter he studied Fine Art and English Literature where he developed his oil painting skills and techniques.

On graduating from university in 1977, David went on to a successful career in graphic design and illustration until, in 1991, he moved to North Wales.

Since 1991 he has held regular and successful one-man exhibitions and has established a strong following in North Wales and further afield.

Initially working mainly in watercolour, David became a strong exponent of the importance of colour, but recently he has regained his love of oil painting, a medium which he enjoys exploiting for its almost three dimensional potential through working with the painting knife. The work has also taken on increasingly dramatic overtones through the choice of subject matter stemming from his ever growing love of and familiarity with the rugged scenery of Snowdonia and the surrounding area.

Although David has shown regularly at The Albany Gallery since the early nineties this is his first one-man exhibition here and his first ever exhibition devoted exclusively to his oil paintings.

His work is held in private collections all over the world and includes one piece held at The House of Lords, Westminster. He has exhibited at all the large galleries in North Wales including sell out exhibitions at Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw, Llanbedrog; Oriel Ynys Môn, Anglesey; Oriel Tegfryn, Menai Bridge; Oriel Ffin y Parc, Llanrwst as well as numerous other smaller galleries in Wales, England and France. He has also had work selected for exhibition at The Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy.
