 David
Dancey-Wood is one of the leading pencil artists in the United Kingdom,
specialising mainly in wildlife subject matter. He was born in Bristol and
studied at the Bournemouth and Poole Faculty of Art and Design for four
years before launching into a career to develop his own unique artistic
talents, alongside raising awareness of conservation issues around the
planet.
His
interest in conservation has taken him to many parts of the world where not only
has he been able to see first hand the plight of many endangered creatures, but
he has also captured them on paper with his pencil studies.
He has supported
through his work several conservation projects and other charities, including
the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Foundation.
He also works closely with Jim and Alison Cronin of the internationally renowned
Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre as their art consultant.

He started his career as an illustrator and was commissioned by a number of
internationally renowned companies, including Time/Life, The Disney Corporation,
Microsoft Encarta and the Eastern and Orient Express. His illustrations have
been used by a wide variety of clients from top film studios to books and
magazines.
His work has been exhibited at galleries throughout the United Kingdom and there
is now a waiting list for his original drawings. David has been published by two
major fine art publishing companies. In 1999 Hawksbill Fine Art was launched to
publish and market his limited edition prints.
In his unique style, David combines the skill of the artist with the passion of
the conservationist, supported by an ever growing band of collectors eagerly
awaiting each new release.
