"David Bennett was born in 1969 and grew up in Doncaster. From an early age he naturally took to painting and drawing, animals and birds being a recurring theme. These interests grew with his schooling and continued during a degree in graphics and illustration at Leeds, followed by a masters degree in natural history illustration at the Royal College of Art in London. After graduating David moved back to his home county of Yorkshire and now paints full time with intimate observation and lively represenation. October 2007 saw the publication of David's first solo book, True to Form. Otter Shores is the culmination of his work with these elusive animals portraying observations and encounters on the wild and remote west coast of Scotland. Constantly subject to the dynamics of weather, light and season. Through sketches and paintings he illustrates the otters' world, their behaviour and habits, giving pointers to the would-be otter watcher on the tracks and signs to look out for. ...David uses both sketches and watercolours to portray these fascinating mammals in a wide range of habitats, from kelp strewn rocky shores, with herons and gulls, to luxuriant tree lined rivers."
