How to Commission a Portrait or Painting

Commissions are welcome. Portraits can be done from photographs and at least
one sitting, at your home or in my studio. Please fill out the enquiry form or e-mail me and I will get back to you to make arrangements for your portrait or painting.

I work in a variety of media but mostly my work is in oils or acrylic on canvas.

Profile

Born in the Carribean island of Grenada, artist Dennis W. Davidson came to London in 1961 to live.
After leaving school he attended life drawing classes at Hammersmith School of Art, under Ruskin Spear, then attended Camberwell School of Art, and on leaving college went on to work as an art director.

After attending Central St Martins School where he studied fashion illustration, he worked for high profile clients including editorial illustration for Vogue and advertising promotions such as Harrods and L'Oreal.

When he moved to Wales and found the ideal spot in Aberarth, he became a full time artist and tutored for the University of Wales Aberystwyth, Extra Mural Department.
The body of Dennis' work grows from the rich sources of drawing dancers with intense speed and the influence of bright colours and natural environment of the Carribean.
The fluid descriptive line used when portraying the human figure is evident in his portraiture.

The artists studio in Aberarth with windows all around floods with light and the breathtaking views of Cardigan Bay, north and south. This light gives his work its clarity of colour.
