Art on Crete
Nature in Art:
Art of Nature
David and Michaela were professional artists living on the beautiful island of Crete in the Mediterranean. Since Michaela moved to Crete she and David have become close friends and worked together in many aspects of art. Their love of the wildlife, culture, landscapes, seascapes and people of Crete have inspired much of their work. The title of this page became their theme - Michaela using Natural items (e.g. shells, sand, feathers) in her beautiful collages: David using Nature and its people as inspiration for his paintings. Michaela remains on Crete but David has moved to Scotland to work among and with wild red squirrels, ospreys and other aspects of Nature.
Michaela moved to Crete in 2009 and quickly become renowned for her unique mosaics and collages which are popular with both tourists and locals. She sells direct at Almyrida or online
David had been living on Crete for twenty years since 2005 and was a tutor and demonstrator of art and a well known artist in Western Crete. He held regular art groups and had a gallery of his paintings..
Michaela and David held several joint exhibitions during the year at several locations in Crete; their favourite venue was the Mosque of the Janisssaries at the Old Harbour in Chania.
David provided regular (weekly) art, drawing and painting tuition and private tuition.
David is pleased to welcome another artist to this site. Nikki is David's daughter and provides a lot of work in pen and pencil. You can see some of her work under her gallery and you can buy originals, prints, mugs, phone cases. You will probably notice that she has also a great love of Nature and that provides the influence for her art.
