David Pole was born in Usk (Wales) in 1955 and grew up in the Wye Valley. He knew from an early age that he wanted to be an artist and when he left school attended Newport College of Art and Design. Being most interested in line and drawing, at college he chose to study illustration with the subsidiary subjects of etching, and letter form.

In the early 1980's David moved to the Cotswolds where he continues to live and work. He has exhibited widely in the UK, taking part in many one man and mixed shows including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Royal West of England Academy.

Although having made a career as a painter of exquisitely detailed and colourful paintings of animals and still-lives, David has always produced work exploring lettering. Enjoying the creative process involved in trying to ‘fit’ the drawn letter forms used or the mood evoked. These works often develop from ideas inspired by extracts of poetry.

"My work, whilst representational, does not seek to reproduce reality but rather by assembling various disparate elements, often with symbolic significance, attempts to convey a depth and intensity felt towards the natural world and the way it imbues the creative imagination."
