David Harris was born in 1956 in Stoke-On-Trent. His interest in painting was sparked when at the age of nine he was chosen to attend Art classes on a Saturday mornings run by the Sutherland Institute. This was followed by Foundation Course in Art at Newcastle Under John Shelton. He read Fine Art under the Late Arthur Berry RA and George Mallalieu at the North Staffordshire Polytechnic in Burslem and attained a BA (Hons).

The artwork exhibited on Deviantart is a collection of pieces produced over the last 30 years.
