David Chambers

David is a professional artist working principally in oil, or mixed media, on board. 

Whilst serving in the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines, he would entertain colleagues by sketching comical figures and cartoons. David describes how maritime themes have always been central to his work. 

On leaving the Navy, David ran his own antiques and art business in the UK and USA. After focusing on his own creative work, David quickly earned considerable commercial success and critical acclaim. 

David explains “I use oil paint and mixed media on a board. I use alternative methods to create my paintings, with 90% done with my hands” 

David Chamber’s work combines his love of maritime and historical themes. David now lives in Budleigh Salterton.
