David Hooper - Sherlock River 14
David Hooper is a Port Hedland based artist originally from Whangarei in New Zealand. For 15 years he was a manufacturing jeweller, an occupation for which he had trained in New Zealand, but currently David is a Pastor of a local church. Throughout his life, art and painting have remained a constant hobby, and he dedicates one day per week creating artwork. I enjoy escaping into my art. David Hooper
I am mostly self-taught, learning through books, through practice, experience, and through teaching art. I started by trying to reproduce exact copies of what I was painting, but have been pushing away from reproducing photos. I have recently been working on a new style (for me). I thoroughly enjoying the use of bold and sometimes unreal colour in my paintings. I feel like I am on the edge of balancing bold colours with images that exude light.
