Davy
Brown was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in 1950. He studied
at the Glasgow School of Art. In 1975 he was awarded a scholarship
from The Institute of Cultural Affairs, Chicago and travelled
in the U.S.A.& Canada.
He
resumed his teaching career on his return, eventually becoming
Head Teacher for the whole Dumfries & Galloway Region.
After some time demand for his work became such that he made
the decision to leave teaching and become a full time painter
- a decision which he has never regretted.
More
recently, his work has become a study of Galloway light; expressing
his response to the changing seasons and shifting light of
the South West of Scotland. This landscape never ceases to
inspire him because each change in weather and mood offers
a completely different experience.His paintings are undeniably
Scottish in character; showing a deep feeling for colour and
texture.He has exhibited widely in Scotland and England at
venues which include the Langwith Gallery, York and the Portico
Gallery in Manchester.
He
is represented in the public collections of Gracefields Art
Centre, Dumfries, University of York and the R.S.P.B. Numerous
works are now in private collections
