Hi and now for the boring stuff.

Well my name is Dave Butcher and I was born in 1959 in Hove, East Sussex and lived most of my life in Middlesbrough where I found a love for nature in the surrounding North Yorkshire Moors

I totally ignored any artistic tallent that I had in my school days, I then persued a career as an Offshore Commercial Diver working mainly in the Middle East and STILL ignored any artistic talent that would poke through with the occasional sketch I did.I eventually saw sense when an accident at work gave me time to concentrate on my art and would like to think that eventually I could make a living from my art. Infact I was honoured to have one of my drawings 'Pals' shortlisted for the ' DAVID SHEPHERD WILDLIFE ARTIST OF THE YEAR AWARD 2008'

I started by doing Pen and Ink drawings and then progressed to Pencils doing mainly portraiture.

Well my other interests are Banjo and Guitar playing and I used to fly Microlites in Alaska, which I would like to eventually take up again.

Well work now takes me up to the Highlands in Scotland and I am looking forward to the opportunities this will give me for fresh matarial.

Had a great time working in Scotland which now sadly has come to an end. However I am working in a totally different field from Diving now in Brighton (much prefer the wilds of Scotland ) and although a different field I am now working in I am greatly inspired by the people I am working with a vast majority of whom are travelling and also artists and photographers - so luck shines again on me.

Hope you enjoy my site which will be updated regularly.

I also have a Facebook site up if you are really bored!!
