David Marsden following study in art both in Hobart at the University of Tasmania and National Gallery School in Melbourne David then became an artist and educationalist.

During David’s artistic pursuit he has not only painted but included found materials to achieve a dynamic effect.

On occasions, a realistic or known object or image is embedded into the subject matter to enhance the energy overall.
