David Hunt
My work is based on a life long fascination with the natural world - from the landscape that surrounds us and the rocks beneath our feet to the creatures with whom we share this space.

David Hunt
Born in Kent, UK in 1974, David is a self-taught artist who has been a full time, professional for the last 10 years. His route to art was via a somewhat circuitous route. After studying Geology at UCL in London he went on to work in oil exploration mainly in Africa and Central Asia. During this time he also completed a cabinet making qualification. A few years later, David left the oil industry and set up his own workshop hand crafting bespoke furniture and Shepherd’s Huts. After being injured by a hit and run driver in 2011, David turned to drawing more seriously during his recovery and began exhibiting and selling his work soon after. David’s work has been exhibited in exhibitions and art galleries across the UK, Europe and the U.S. and has work in private collections around the world. He has twice been a finalist in the Wildlife Artist of the year competition and has exhibited with the Society of Wildlife Artists at the Mall Galleries in London. In 2020, he was elected to Associate Membership of the Society Of Animal Artists in the US and had work exhibited as part of their annual juried exhibition at the Hiram Blauvelt Museum in the U.S. Working with graphite drawing, etching and more recently oil painting, David’s work has been mainly focused on wild cats and birds, each piece an in-depth study of the animal, a way of capturing a moment of stillness to appreciate every detail that would ordinarily be unseen.
