"I want to show the rest of the world how beautiful this country and its wildlife is. There is much complaining of the weather in Britain, but it is the weather that I find makes this land so magical. The more I see of Britain the less I want to travel anywhere else. I have no interest in making any artistic statements or forwarding any particular artistic movement. In its simplest form I paint wildlife and landscape to the best of my ability and I thoroughly enjoy doing so. If I can bring some of the pleasure that I get from painting to other people then its 'job done'!"

David Cowdry is an unassuming man who finds it hard to recognise his own talent. He breaths life into a painting using effortless skill. He is the master of light. He exhibits once a year in Wales and his paintings are quickly sold to an eager public. If you have bought one of his paintings you would count yourself as very lucky.

David lives in Wales and studied wildlife illustration at Carmarthen College of Art.

He says, "I absolutely love it here. There are so many different habitats within easy reach and the wealth of flora and fauna is extraordinary. My interest in the natural world is reaching new levels combined with my painting. There is no mystery to what or how I paint. I paint what I see and as I see it. Light and atmosphere and a sense of 'being there' are very important to me. I want people to look at the paintings I do and hopefully to feel connected in the same way to what they are seeing. "
