David Hyde
David Hyde is a full-time professional artist, born and educated in Hertfordshire. For the past twenty five years he has lived and worked with his wife and family in St.Ives, near Cambridge. Having tried most mediums he now paints almost exclusively in watercolour and acrylic.
David's first passion was for watercolour landscape which was successfully featured in a series of one-man exhibitions; his work is regularly represented in local galleries and appears in regional exhibitions and at the Institute of Painters in Watercolour in London. In recent years he has combined his painter's skills with a lifelong interest in wildlife, particularly the UK's native birds and mammals. Most of this work he now completes in acrylic. His wildlife paintings have won awards and commendations at several major exhibitions and his work has been sold at Christies in London.
He regularly exhibits with the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art in Liverpool, and The Wildlife Art Society in Bristol, East Anglia and the Midlands. His work has also helped raise money for the R.S.P.B and the David Shepherd Conservation Trust. He runs his own painting workshops and is in popular demand as a demonstrator throughout the Midlands and South-East of England.
