A quote from the artist. “I have, so far, never discovered a place that so much alters human perception than the African bushveld. Many years ago we made the mistake of cutting ourselves off from animals, but in the bushveld one can still listen to the conversation between nature and the divine. It is a place where a finely sustained balance exists against a backdrop of raw beauty. When I spend time there I discover myself taken by a heightened sense of consciousness that feeds my capacity for awe and astonishment. I am inspired by the power of Africa and if I manage to capture a little of this in my work, then half my talent has been put to good use.”

David started his art career in the 1990’s and he exhibited in many group and also solo exhibitions around South Africa.

The Eastern Highlands, also known as the Manica Highlands, is a mountain range on the border of Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The Eastern Highlands extend north and south for about 300 kilometres (190 mi) through Zimbabwe's Manicaland Province and Mozambique's Manica Province.
The Highlands are home to the Eastern Zimbabwe montane forest-grassland mosaic ecoregion. The ecoregion includes the portion of the highlands above 1000 meters elevation, including the Inyangani Mountains, Bvumba Mountains, Chimanimani Mountains, Chipinge Uplands, and the isolated Mount Gorongosa further east in Mozambique. The Southern miombo woodlands ecoregion lies at lower elevations east and west of the highlands.

The highlands have a cooler, moister climate than the surrounding lowlands, which support distinct communities of plants and animals. The ecoregion is home to several plant communities: submontane and montane grasslands, moist evergreen forest, dry montane forest, miombo woodlands, and heathlands
