Dave Denson discovered his passion for pastels during a time of self directed study and has embraced them as his medium of choice ever since.

Currently his paintings are a representation of everyday life in the city of Vancouver where he lives and other cities that he visits.

With bold colour and contrast that he achieves with pastels Dave brings vibrancy and life to a scene that might otherwise seem ordinary.
